Today's top Louisiana stories inside
with Kelly P. Kissel | Metro editorThanks for stopping in today at the start of your week. Here are some of our top stories: East Baton Rouge school officials have in mind a "Juilliard of Baton Rouge," an arts conservatory designed to propel teenagers into careers in music, dance, theater and the visual arts. Superintendent Sito Narcisse says the bold program could attract more students into the district, reversing years of decline. Investigators are trying to piece together what happened during a Houston concert that left 8 people dead. Was there a problem with barriers or crowd control that led to a stampede at the venue? And Hurricane Ida hammered some of Louisiana's state parks when it came ashore in August. Changes are in store for some of the parks before you visit them next. Check back with us more more news later. |
