BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
The East Baton Rouge Parish
School Board announced changes to four schools beginning in the fall.
Lee High, Belfair Elementary,

changes.
Lee will become a dedicated
magnet program focusing on science, technology, engineering, arts and
mathematics. It will continue to educate grades nine through 12.
Belfair will become a
dedicated Montessori program and expand to include sixth grade next school
year. Seventh and eighth grades will be added in the following two years. The
school will also increase the current number of pre-K and kindergarten classes.
Delmont will become a
dedicated pre-K and kindergarten center. Students who are now in other grades will be reassigned
or have the option of joining one of the new magnet programs.
Mayfair Middle will be reconfigured
and all students will be assigned to different schools or have the option of
applying to one of the magnet schools available to them. The LSU Lab School
partnership will begin with kindergarten through second grade next school year
and expand to higher grades in the following years.
