A new series of conversations about what to do with the East Baton Rouge Parish Schools has begun.
“Beyond Bricks EBR” got started in response to an effort to restructure the parish school district and allow individual schools to be more autonomous. Anna Fogle got drawn in to the search for other solutions as the head of a group representing parents of children in the Gifted and Talented Program, which was threatened by the restructuring plan.
But the conversations are much broader than just Gifted and Talented.
Rev. Robin McCullough-Bade with the Interfaith Federation, is helping to get churches and faith leaders involved.
