Tuesday, June 2, Dr. T. Lamar Goree, Superintendent of the Caddo Parish public school system, recommended to members of the Caddo Parish School Board approval of the 2020-21 Proposed Caddo Parish School Board Budget. First thought was, why the rush? Why rush the approval when the 2020-21 Caddo Parish School Board Budget has a deadline date of June 30, but there wasn’t a rush, or was there?
Many applauds to the civic-minded individuals, both young and seasoned, who have seen the need to take to the streets and air waves to demonstrate against perceived injustices in our society. And, make no mistake, injustices have occurred.

Congratulations, Class of 2020!
