In a historic step forward, the plaintiffs in the 60-year federal desegregation case involving the Tangipahoa Parish School System have signed a consent agreement with the district in the areas of Faculty and Staff Assignment, Teacher Assignment, and Student Assignment. Following this agreement, attorneys for the school system have filed motions with U.S. District Judge Ivan Lemelle seeking final unitary status in all three of these key areas.

An owl logo and "Tangipahoa Parish Virtual Learning Option" are in the top section, while "ENROLLMENT NOW OPEN" and a website address are in the blue background of the bottom section.
