BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — About 70,000 students across southeast Louisiana remain out of school because of Hurricane Ida's destruction to classroom buildings a month ago, state Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley told lawmakers Tuesday.That's nearly 1 in 10 of Louisiana's K-12 students — largely in Terrebonne, Lafourche, Jefferson, St. John the Baptist and St. Charles parishes — who remain idled by the Category 4 storm, which wrecked several parishes when it struck Aug. 29. More than 300,000 students were forced out of school immediately after Ida, but many have returned to class as power and water were restored across the region.
