In their own words

Teachers: "The workload that they're putting upon teachers and the respect, the lack of respect that teachers are getting, would be the biggest thing that I would like to address in the school system." (Lagniappe, Sep 26, 2026)

Representation: "There are some concerned parents that feel that their voices are not being heard, and both schools are not being equally represented. My goal is to make sure everyone in the district is represented." (Lagniappe, Sep 26, 2026)
