2026/08/29

The Orleans Parish School Board just handed the district superintendent unprecedented power to shut down charter schools—even before their contracts expire—amid plummeting enrollment. Triggered by new state law, the move lets the superintendent propose closures, consolidations, or operational changes if the district is deemed over capacity, defined by low occupancy rates or student numbers. Critics fear it undermines school choice and concentrates too much control in one person’s hands, while

A 15-year-old girl in Livingston Parish received a juvenile life sentence for first-degree murder of her newborn, the longest possible term for a minor — she’ll remain in custody until turning 21.

A jury in Washington Parish convicted 43-year-old Derrick Fairley of second-degree murder for supplying fentanyl that killed 34-year-old Roxanne Fortenberry in a December 2024 overdose.

A new biopic “Tony,” directed by Matt Johnson, fictionalizes Anthony Bourdain’s early restaurant days in Provincetown, blending nostalgia with a soft, safe portrait of his formative years. While well-crafted with solid performances and a pleasing aesthetic, the film fails to capture Bourdain’s complex, unfiltered essence—coming off as bland and forgettable despite its promising premise.
