UPDATE: 1:45 p.m. Wednesday, January 22, 2025 We at Bossier Schools want to provide an update regarding the suspect being sought by police in Bossier City. He is still at-large and a heavy police presence is surrounding Airline, Apollo, Greenacres and Plantation Park. We will dismiss at normal time and police will be patrolling neighborhoods to ensure students arrive home safely. We do encourage parents whose children walk home from school to pick them up if at all possible. They are asked to arrive prior to school dismissal and come inside the school. They will need to show an ID. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

BOSSIER SCHOOLS: Airline, Apollo, Greenacres and Plantation Park are currently on restricted movement and law enforcement is on the scene due to a report of a suspect being in the area. For the safety of your child and others, please do not call or attempt to go to the school. We will not open our doors, answer our phones or dismiss students until law enforcement advises us that it is safe to do so. We will contact you again when we have more information to share.
