Officials want split in Iberville school system

ST. GABRIEL, La. (AP) — Iberville Parish east bank residents and St. Gabriel city leaders are joining in a renewed effort to break away from the Iberville Parish School District and form their own municipal school system.

St. Gabriel Mayor Lionel Johnson said Thursday the community wants to opt out of the parish’s school system because of “years of frustration” of feeling like the school system’s “stepchild.”
