About

Citizens for an Equal Education (CEE) is being formed with only two goals in mind.

1. Immediately reduce overcrowding of classrooms

2. Push for the construction of a new school in our community

The students of Grand Caillou community have some of the lowest standardized test scores in the parish. A chief contributor to this situation is constant disruption in their education by the affects of school flooding. During the crisis, our students are bussed to surrounding area schools and subjected to class sizes that are doubled. In some cases, there are as many as 50 students in a classroom. These major disruptions come at the foundational time of our children’s education. No other students in our parish are subjected to such adverse educational conditions. The construction of a new school can remedy this situation and provide the same opportunity for a quality public education as all of the other children in our parish.
