In a recent school board meeting, officials discussed ongoing educational interventions aimed at improving student performance in reading and math across all grade levels, from kindergarten through 12th grade. These interventions are designed not only to assist students who are struggling but also to enhance the skills of advanced learners, ultimately preparing them for standardized tests like the ACT. The board emphasized the importance of monitoring these interventions weekly to ensure their effectiveness.

The meeting also featured public input from Melvin Husser, who expressed concerns regarding the sale of 2.02 acres of land to the Tangipahoa Parish Water District. Husser highlighted a perceived breach of trust related to the deed, which stipulates that the property should be used solely for agricultural school purposes. He called for dialogue with the board, citing a lack of communication regarding the sale that has left many community members feeling betrayed.

In addition to these discussions, the board addressed a student discipline appeal, ultimately voting to deny the appeal based on the information presented. Board members also took the opportunity to celebrate local sports achievements, with congratulations extended to the La Rondeau Wolves for their recent victory over Ponchatoula.

The meeting concluded with various board members expressing gratitude for the community's involvement and support, as well as acknowledging the hard work of school staff in managing recent challenges, including HVAC issues in schools. The board reiterated its commitment to transparency and communication with the public, emphasizing the importance of community engagement in the educational process.
