Summary

At its meeting, the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) acknowledged students who earned Gold and Silver diplomas and completed career pathways in STEM and related fields; the board invited recipients and representatives to the dais for photographs.

Members of the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) recognized students and school representatives for diploma and career-pathway completions during a morning session.

Board members acknowledged recipients of Gold and Silver diploma distinctions and students who completed pathways emphasizing science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The board said those students demonstrated “strong foundation” skills in STEM pathways and asked award recipients and school representatives to stand for a photograph with the board.

School systems and local representatives were named during the recognition period; the transcript lists multiple parish school systems and several named guests and staff who joined the board onstage. The board's remarks focused on student achievement in pathway programs rather than on new policy actions or funding changes.

No formal vote or board action was recorded in the transcript linked to the recognitions. The board moved on to other agenda items after the photo and the acknowledgments ended.
