Most parents hate the start of school because they know it is time to purchase items on the supply list that teachers provide them. When the shopping is over, a parent can spend anywhere from $30 to $114 on school supplies.
Over the years, parents have complained to school board members about the extra expense of starting school. Their complaints include buying five boxes of crayons instead of one or six boxes of Kleenex when their child only needs one. The extra supplies drove up the cost.

Vermilion Parish is finally set to benefit from the Acadiana Gulf of Mexico Access Channel (AGMAC), more than two decades after it was first discussed.
A contract has been awarded to begin deepening the navigational channel for a 20-mile stretch from the intersection of the Intracoastal Canal down Freshwater Bayou to the Freshwater Bayou Locks.
The dredging will increase the depth of Freshwater Bayou, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico, to just over 16 feet deep.
The spoil from the dredging will be placed in the marsh near the dredging.
