Rapides Parish School Board is pleased to announce that we are partnering with the Food Bank of Central Louisiana as we continue to help provide food for families during these unprecedented times. This Friday, April 3rd when meals are picked up at our 7 locations across the parish, each family will have the opportunity to take home a bag of food from the Food Bank to help them over the Easter Break. We are able to provide one box of food per family and will only be able to give a box to an adult representing his/her individual family. April 6-10 is Easter Break for RPSB so we will not be providing daily meals next week. We do plan to continue our feeding schedule starting April 13th if schools remain closed.

Superintendent of Schools
