HARVEY, La. — Jefferson Parish Schools has announced the 87 community members – including students, parents, teachers and principals – who will form the 2020-21 Superintendent’s Councils.
“Congratulations to all of the members selected for this year’s Superintendent’s Councils. These Councils are important because they help inform our decisions, especially those impacting students, and provide a continuous connection point to engage the community in two-way communication,” said Dr. James Gray, superintendent for JP Schools. “I look forward to meeting everyone and discussing how we can continue to provide the best possible learning experience for our students in Jefferson Parish Schools.”
JP Schools had an application period in October for the five Superintendent’s Councils: the Superintendent’s Student Leadership Council, Parent Council, Teacher Council Principal Council and Special Education Council.
The councils will meet four times during the 2020-2021 school year to discuss topics deemed important by members while helping with decisions being made at the district level. Partnering with families, community members, board members, agencies, and other stakeholders is one of the six priorities outlined in the district’s strategic plan, 2024: The Future Our Kids Deserve. Through these councils, the district wants to ensure people’s voices are heard.
