Our Mission: Leadership, Service and Support for School Boards

[Louisiana School Boards Association @LSBALeads]

January is School Board Member Recognition Month across the state of Louisiana – a great time to focus on the crucial role an elected school board has in our communities and schools.

Thank you to all Louisiana school boards for their leadership and dedication!

Both LA Senators have pledged to vote YES! ⁦@BillCassidy⁩ ⁦@JohnKennedyLA⁩ People who paid into social security should not be penalized because they ALSO earned a public pension. https://t.co/cHIp1XIr8R

Louisiana school scores rise for third straight year, but a tougher grading system is coming https://t.co/WQzquuOplP via @theadvocatebr

[Congresswoman Julia Letlow @RepJuliaLetlow]

Tonight, I urge my colleagues to vote in support of H.R. 82 the #SocialSecurityFairnessAct.

The unfair provisions of WEP and GPO impact our public servants — the teachers who educate our children and the firefighters and police officers who keep our communities safe. Our public servants deserve their hard-earned retirement benefits.

It is time to right this wrong.

We are thankful for the reduction in testing time. While this is a step in the right direction, we are looking forward to the continued reduction in testing time to ensure more meaningful alignment with Federal regulations.
