State Superintendent Paul Pastorek didn't budge Monday on legislation being proposed to change how school boards operate.
After meeting about an hour and a half with most members of the St. John the Baptist Parish School Board and some board members from St. James Parish opposed to the bills, Pastorek said he and the board members may have reached "an agreement to disagree agreeably, and to let the chips fall where they may."
The breakfast meeting was initiated by St. John School Board member Russ Wise, who said he hoped board members and Pastorek might reach a compromise on some of the legislation and avoid a head-to-head fight in the Legislature, which convenes Monday in Baton Rouge.
