Other Current Actions

Get Highly Effective Teachers in Low Performing Schools

The education of every student in East Baton Rouge Parish is being put in danger because of recent actions by the school board and district staff that would move high performing students to low performing schools, for the benefit of the schools, not the students. Stand parents have a different idea: give incentives to highly effective teachers and leaders to serve in low performing schools.

Take This Action
