BATON ROUGE - The East Baton Rouge School Board is hosting a realignment meeting discussing the new plans for the school system, involving the closure of nine school campuses and the combining of others.

The meeting will take place at 5 p.n. on April 28 at the Central Office at 1050 South Foster Drive.
