NEW ORLEANS — Editor's note: On Friday, Oct. 27, Louisiana State Police reduced the number of victims to seven fatalities rather than eight following a forensic investigation.
Several local schools have announced delayed start times and at least one closure for next day classes due to ongoing poor visibility due to current weather conditions that ultimately led to a mass pileup on I-55 near Manchac, La., that caused more than 160 vehicles to crash and seven fatalities on Monday morning.

Einstein Charter Schools
- School will begin at 10 a.m. and conclude at 3:30 pm.
