Any changes afoot under new leadership?
By KELLY P. KISSEL | Metro editor The East Baton Rouge Parish School Board has its first Democratic majority since 2007. The shift could lead to a new redistricting effort; litigation over new maps this year led to this year's elections being conducted with districts established in 2014. Baton Rouge police this morning were at the scenes of two shootings. One of them involved a fatality. We have a reporter on the way. Mississippi State football coach Mike Leach has died from complications involving a heart condition. In his first game with the Bulldogs, his "Air Raid" offense demolished LSU in the Tigers' first game after winning the 2019 national championship. Tributes are pouring in. |
