The East Baton Rouge Parish School System has announced the creation of an agriculture curriculum to guide students toward career opportunities with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The opportunity will give EBRPSS students access to a variety of programs designed to provide hands-on experience and industry-specific training. Westdale Middle School, which has its own aquaponics lab on campus, will be one of the select schools in the district to offer this opportunity to its students. District leaders are still determining when the curriculum will be implemented.
