Description
The Jefferson Parish School Board delayed voting on the proposed school attendance zone maps after a long day of public comment from parents and community members.
The vote will now happen next week, at the May 3 meeting.
Monday night many parents expressed their concerns, transportation being one of the biggest ones.
One parent said during public comment, "We can't afford to take off everyday, to bring our kids to school."
Earlier this month the board voted to close and relocate several schools due to declining enrollment across the district.
