St. Landry Parish families and neighbors:
The future of our schools is a community decision, and we want to ensure all community members are well-informed. Superintendent Milton Batiste III is hosting three informal meetings to walk through the upcoming millage proposal. This isn't just a presentation; it’s a space for you to ask questions, view data, and see exactly how this funding will affect our students, staff, and schools.
If you’ve been wondering why this millage is needed, how it will impact you, how the funds will be used, or if you have read things on social media and you want to ask questions about these topics, these sessions are for you. We’re committed to transparency and want every voter to feel confident and informed before heading to the polls.

Location: St. Landry Parish School Board – Resource Center
Monday, April 13 @ 3:45 PM
Wednesday, April 15 @ 5:00 PM
