Iberia Schools Use Tobacco Money To Pay For Summer Classes
One local school system will have to dip into tobacco settlement money to pay for summer classes.
The Iberia Parish School Board unanimously agreed to take $505,000 from the fund to help pay for the classes. Students who fail the LEAP, GEE, or end-of-course testing are required to take the remedial classes.
Up until recently, the state paid for the courses, but now the school system must foot the bill.
