The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services, in partnership with the Louisiana Department of Education, received federal approval to expand the Pandemic EBT program to cover the summer months for eligible children in K-12 schools.
This is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Summer P-EBT program to provide food benefits for the summer months to eligible children.
Unlike the school year P-EBT program, all students in K-12 schools are eligible to receive summer P-EBT if they receive free or reduced-price meals and were in school in May 2022.
The McLemore Road bridge over Bee Bayou in Richland Parish is currently closed.
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists this closure is scheduled to be in place for approximately two months, and is necessary to allow the contractor to complete the removal and replacement of the existing bridge structure. This work will be performed weather permitting. Detour signage will be in place. This is a total road closure and all vehicles must detour.
