Sherry Champagne told the board: \"When we say it's critical race theory, it is actual it's actually SEL, which is social emotional learning.\" Champagne said SEL materials in the district included content she considered progressive and that some materials had been distributed to teachers in specific courses. She told the board that a teacher had posted her personal information on social media, which led to repeated phone calls and property disturbance at her home, and asked the board to create and enforce a code of conduct for teachers.

Board members debated how classroom materials are approved and whether the specific book mentioned had been assigned as required classroom material or as a graduate‑level reading assignment. \"I didn't see anything in there that should have been taken out or taken out of context,\" board member Matt Ford said after reviewing the book in question; he argued that teachers—particularly new teachers—sometimes are given readings to help them work with diverse student populations.

Other trustees said they wanted to investigate how the materials were introduced and whether proper approvals and parental notifications occurred. Several board members reiterated that personnel matters are handled by administration, not the board, but said the board could ask staff for an administrative review of complaints and for a recommendation on a teacher code of conduct.

Ending: Board members asked staff to review the SEL implementation, how reading materials were assigned, and the allegation of a staff member posting a resident's personal information. The board took no personnel action at the meeting and did not adopt a districtwide teacher code of conduct that night.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","TPSDBoard 2022 03 08","oneSentenceSummary","At the March 8 meeting, parents and community members urged the Terrebonne Parish School Board to review social‑emotional learning materials and to adopt a teacher code of conduct after a commenter said a teacher had posted her personal information online.","taxTitle","Terrebonne Parish, School Boards, Louisiana","taxId",16966,"location","Louisiana","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6156624,"School board hears contentious presentation about program to place incarcerated people in elementary classrooms",646,1592000,2238000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5468664-fc6e29f7b541b0a4cabc29e2b64d41d1&start=1592&end=2238","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5468664-fc6e29f7b541b0a4cabc29e2b64d41d1/thumbnail_1592000.jpg","/articles/6156624/Louisiana/School-board-hears-contentious-presentation-about-program-to-place-incarcerated-people-in-elementary-classrooms","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6156624-dd4ae5a60d7d7f6ca68e8aab91ccbb9f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771139346&Signature=E1jKvbWLcyGS8sukO8ha8Sy5JovV1Ss5znoqC9JEnXuIHep3Fam1AWaaj4LfAsAF2fMFb3Cx8eM7lZByRWeWXIOpjqeMRlbErpA5Dwllc13-uS4zMzRM6Ave0AtlaPP7PA7h5fM0Xa5MavdqclAXAc1hlnI5BVPrrwB0gJ0HYaGhPpk2tqSySf4ozZehS5H0VTJMjspMrBITsg0Wf4~sI8OpJ3FtOZMlMJ~X1wphi7UxePtLr720JRonCWYpzewmFQXfS8UfVxMxGoEHRp1vITkC0xcxCPNyl4~Ioptrrp52tG~unoY7qOTRdvCbLlClFsKAnNxts54znCOmEYJSoA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Terrebonne Parish School Board on March 8 heard a public presentation about a program described as placing incarcerated people \"directly from prison into student teaching, and then solo teaching\" in kindergarten through fifth‑grade classrooms, prompting sharply divided reaction from the public and board members.

The proposal was presented during the public comment portion of the meeting. \"We are absolutely in favor of rehabilitation and second chances,\" the presenter told the board. The presenter read a document describing the categories of convictions that program organizers would consider and an email from a corrections official about teacher certification.

Board members expressed concern about safety and vetting. Several members said they were not prepared to support the concept after hearing the presentation. Board discussion focused on whether the program materials presented that night represented the program in full or only selected excerpts; one board member urged colleagues to \"look at the whole program, not bits and pieces\" before forming an opinion.

No motion to adopt or endorse the program was offered, and the board did not take formal action on the matter at the meeting. Board members said they wanted more complete documentation before any decision could be considered.

The presentation and most public comment took place during the public‑comment agenda item; board members explicitly discussed the proposal afterward and asked staff and colleagues to review the program materials.

The item closed without a vote; board members asked staff to provide any additional information they could obtain about certification and vetting requirements so the board could consider the matter at a future meeting.

Ending: The board did not adopt or reject the program at the March 8 meeting. Members who asked for more information said they would await a fuller package of documentation before considering any policy or procedural change.","A presenter described a program that would place incarcerated people directly into student‑teaching and solo teaching roles in kindergarten–fifth grade classrooms.

The board set interviews for Tuesday, March 15, beginning at 5 p.m. in the Boardroom.

Board members described an initial plan that allowed 15 minutes for candidate remarks and 15 minutes for questions and discussion. Several trustees said that total was too brief for a position of this scope. Board member Matt Ford proposed that candidates be given more time and suggested an optional 5‑ to 6‑minute pre‑recorded video introducing themselves and outlining priorities, to be provided in advance so trustees could review candidates before the live interviews.

Dr. Deborah Yarbrough, supervisor of personnel, advised the board that 30 minutes was a reasonable interview window. After debate the board approved a revised schedule allotting 30 minutes per applicant for board‑directed questions and closing remarks and accepted optional candidate videos to be submitted by 3 p.m. on Monday, March 14; the procedural motion to set the interviews and these parameters passed at the meeting with two recorded objections.

Board members raised practical concerns about the compressed timeline between notice and the interviews and whether all application packets and supplemental materials had been circulated to trustees; several members urged staff to ensure each applicant's full packet was provided to the board in advance.

Ending: The board approved the interview date and the interview format and asked staff to circulate candidate materials and any optional videos among trustees before the March 15 session.","The board set interviews for superintendent candidates on March 15 at 5 p.m., but trustees debated whether 15 minutes was sufficient, proposed extending to 30 minutes, and discussed an optional 5–6 minute video from applicants.

Rebecca Breaux, the district chief financial officer, presented revised operating budgets and sales‑tax reports and explained the recommendation that the board approve one‑time supplements for full‑time employees for the fiscal year. The committee motion, as read at the meeting, called for a $1,500 one‑time supplement for instructional professional employees and additional supplements for other employee groups; funds were to be derived from SR‑2 (special revenue) funds and paid in March 2022.

Board members praised employees for pandemic and hurricane recovery work. \"The bonus is our way of thanking our employees at all levels for placing themselves on the front line during the COVID‑19 pandemic, as well as enduring the ongoing recovery efforts of Hurricane Ida,\" a presenter said during discussion.

Committee recommendations also included authorizing yearly bids for child‑nutrition products, accepting low bids for kitchen equipment purchases, authorizing advertisements for maintenance and custodial bids, declaring a small parcel of property surplus, and granting a right of way to the Terrebonne Levee and Conservation District for levee construction and maintenance pending attorney review. Those committee recommendations were approved during the meeting as presented.

Ending: The board approved budget revisions and the one‑time supplement and instructed staff to proceed with the advertised bids and required legal reviews. The board asked that appraisal and process details for surplus property sales be routed through the appropriate committee before final disposition.","Committee recommended and the board approved revised operating budgets and a one‑time salary supplement to recognize staff work during the COVID‑19 pandemic and hurricane recovery; funds were identified from special revenue sources as presented at the meeting.","actionData","errors"]
