Schools in EBR and Surrounding Areas

Local teacher here considering school migration as a result of the floods. I thought a thread for listing schools that took water would be useful, not just for modeling but also for parents in the days/weeks to come.
EBR has roughly 90 schools in the district and Superintendent Warren Drake sent an email yesterday stating:
"We have been evaluating our schools and 33 sites were not accessible as of 6 pm today [Sunday]. 41 sites have no issues or minor issues. We are updating this every few hours and we know that several schools have been flooded."
This implies over half of the schools were impacted, although a distinction between schools/sites may exist.
Which schools do we know took water in Baton Rouge and surrounding cities?

my dad told me that they had to share marrero middle school back in the day due to a fire at another school.
one group went 6-12, the other 12-6.
this is what should happen but won't because people will complain.
I am willing to bet they will screw up this plan

All Livingston Parish Public Schools are closed indefinitely.

Episcopal School of Baton Rouge definitely has water.

EBR schools are closed *until further notice. Not sure which are flooded, but I think some are being used as shelters also, so I guess that means they're dry. I've heard McKinley Middle is a shelter.
This is key, as we heard that our school may be ok but they were still worried about the gym, which would probably not mean a closure of the school.
ETA: *changed "indefinitely" to "until further notice"

We just received an email asking if we would be able to return to work on Friday. It was probably a straw poll, but this suggests school is closed in EBR until then.
School closures are going to happen temporarily, but specifically which schools took water?
For example, I know Denham Springs High School took water to the roof. That means 1500+ students will be distributed to other schools in the area.

EBR will likely be able to make it through with minor campus repairs and trailers. There may be some consolidation of campuses needed where campuses have capacity, and perhaps even some platooning needed.
But it seems like most of the people who attend schools in EBR will stay in EBR (with some exceptions) through the rebuilding process.
Livingston is a whole another story - the early reports, the only thing I can compare it to is St Bernard after Katrina. Pretty much every school was in bad shape and a lot of the population left.
There, it took about 6 weeks and a combination of quick repairs and trailers to get a single school opened K-12 and they went from there. I can see Livingston taking a similar approach - or maybe doing this at a couple of facilities depending upon what time of outmigration occurs.
The one difference between this and Katrina is that in a couple of days, the water will be gone in Livingston and work can begin, whereas the water stayed in St Bernard for weeks.

My heart breaks for all those directly affected but man I hope my kids school gets open soon.. Schools that can, need to open as soon as possible.. People need to work, kids need the routine and structure.

Superintendent Warren Drake was just on WBRZ, where he discussed school consolidation, schools meeting at different sites, and possibly working A & B schedules. He mentioned possibly sending EBR kids back to school on next Tuesday.
In other school flood news, St Amant High School definitely went under.
