St. Landry Parish Superintendent speaks on Sunset Middle School closures

SUNSET, La (KLFY) -- Sunset Middle School is closed following severe weather which caused physical damage to an electrical transmission. This resulted in students being unable to return until repairs are complete.

St. Landry Parish Superintendent Milton Batiste III spoke on the damages and the progress being made.

"Power has been restored in the area, in and around the school and at the school. But because of the high winds, there was extensive damage to transformers at the lines," he said.
