CLINTON - Voting along racial lines Tuesday, the East Feliciana Parish School Board conditionally approved a Slaughter group’s application to form a charter school serving students in seventh through 12th grades.
Slaughter students must transfer to either Jackson or Clinton middle schools, depending on where they live, when they finish the sixth grade at Slaughter Elementary.
The spokesman for the charter school group, Joe Gunter, said many parents elect to move or send their children to private schools when they finish elementary school.
School Superintendent Douglas Beauchamp recommended allowing the Slaughter Community Charter School’s backers to continue pursuing state approval while the board’s staff works to clear up questions about how the school would operate.
Beauchamp said the group will get someone to file a suit in federal court to determine whether the school would violate the desegregation order.
The organization wants to begin classes next school year for seventh-graders and add an additional grade each year.
White board members Matthew Peterson, Henry C. Howell, Clay Barksdale, Tony Rouchon, J. Curtis Jelks, Leon “Sonny” Franklin and Beth Dawson voted for conditional approval.
Black members Michael Bradford, Willie M. Jackson and Richard Terrell voted against the plan.
Member Oliver Wingfield abstained from voting, and Mitch Harrell was absent.
Beauchamp said the board had to make a decision at the meeting, according to state law. If the district had turned it down, the Slaughter parents could still move the issue before the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Terrell said he had questions about whether the plan was educationally sound and financially structured, while Bradford posed questions about the racial makeup of Slaughter Elementary today and the proposed charter school.
Peterson, who argued with Bradford over the racial questions, said a charter school is a public school.
