Summary
Multiple Louisiana districts canceled summer classes and shut schools and offices for June 18 as Tropical Storm Arthur approached, with East Baton Rouge, Ascension, Livingston, Pointe Coupee, West Baton Rouge and Zachary among those affected.
Arthur's expected severe weather prompted broader disruptions: Ascension barred all activities, Livingston canceled athletics and other programs, and Pointe Coupee called off all scheduled events.
Helix Schools shifted June 18 summer classes in Baker and Baton Rouge online instead of closing entirely, while EduCare Academy 2 also announced a campus closure.
Several systems had already planned to remain closed June 19 for Juneteenth, extending the interruption beyond the storm-related shutdowns in some districts.
