Caddo Parish (La.) school district facilities need major upgrades

From The Shreveport Times: The Caddo Parish (La.) District hasn't seen a new public school since the mid-1980s, and many of the district's aging buildings need repairs — including replacing outdated library equipment and worn sewage systems. Cracked exterior walls, inadequate space for school clinics and buildings that don't meet the Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility guidelines were among the issues addressed in a 5,165-page report detailing the physical conditions, educational adequacy and technological needs of 79 schools and sites.
