St. Landry school board sets hearing on budget

OPELOUSAS, La. (AP) - The St. Landry Parish School Board will wait until after a Sept. 5 public hearing before voting on a proposed 2013-14 general fund budget.

Board attorney Gerard Caswell told the board Thursday he was not sure if a public hearing on the $103 million budget occurred Wednesday at a Finance Committee meeting.

Caswell said he reviewed the Finance Committee's report from the meeting and there was no mention of a public hearing being held.
