Superintendent Chris Brooks read a proclamation at the board’s Jan. 8 meeting declaring January 2026 as Louisiana School Board Recognition Month and thanking local board members for their service.
Brooks also read the board’s 2025 training-hour totals and presented certificates to Patricia Stevens and Yolanda Coleman for meeting the Louisiana School Board Association’s certified school board member distinction, a voluntary recognition for members who complete 20 or more training hours in a calendar year. Stevens completed 39.5 hours for 2025; Coleman completed 23.75 hours, as recorded in the minutes.
The minutes include a table of training topics and dates the board used to compile member hours, including ethics, campaign finance, sexual harassment, bullying, cybersecurity courses, and LSBA conferences. The record notes the board is "waiting on LSBA to record" some hours.
