Students who attend a “D” or “F” school in Vermilion Parish can transfer to another parish school.
Superintendent Tommy Byler explained to the school board members that the state is now updating the Louisiana Public School of Choice rule.
That means that if a parent or legal guardian wants to transfer their child because they attend a school with a letter grade of D or F, the public school choice law lets that transfer happen.
Three Abbeville schools are D schools. They are Herod Elementary, Eaton Park Elementary, and J.H. Williams Middle School.
