1. MEETING OPENINGS

Procedural: 1.1 Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America.

Procedural: 1.2 Moment of Silence

Procedural: 1.3 Opening Comments – Superintendent

Superintendent Irma Trosclair gave the Board an update on the following:

2021 State Teacher of the Year Program Semifinalist - Pamela Sorensson has been named a semifinalist for the 2021 Teacher of the Year program by The Louisiana Department of Education. Sorensson is an English teacher at Carencro High School.  In addition, she is a Louisiana Teacher Leader, the chair of the English department, the National Honor Society Sponsor and serves on the school leadership team.  The educators being selected are making exceptional gains with students, guiding them to achieve at the highest levels in the state. Their commitment to student success exemplifies Louisiana’s teaching profession.

Deadline Extension for P-EBT Application - The State of Louisiana has extended the deadline for families to apply for the Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) program by one week, from June 8, 2020 to June 15, 2020.  June 15th is the final application deadline for the program. No further extension will be announced.  Families must complete the online application to receive benefits. The application will be available in a P-EBT portal on the LDE website.

2020 Superintendent’s Scholarships - We are pleased to announce that 29 students were awarded scholarships through the Superintendent’s Scholarship Committee. The scholarship money is raised through the fundraising efforts of the Superintendent’s Annual Golf Tournament held in the spring of the previous year.  The committee awarded three $2,000 awards to the highest three scoring applicants, four $1,500 awards to the next highest scoring applicants, and awarded 22 $1,000 awards to the remaining applicants. A total of 29 awards were designated for a total of $34,000. Congratulations to all of these students.  The committee was able to award scholarships to all qualifying students who applied with monies from the previous year’s golf tournament.  With the current COVID situation, staff has made the decision to postpone this year’s tournament and will resume the Superintendent Golf Tournament in Spring 2021.  Thank you to the many organizations and individuals who contributed to this meaningful event which makes it possible for LPSS students to receive well deserved financial support for their post-secondary career. 

LPSS Educators Earn Renaissance National Honor Roll Designation - Recently 25 Louisiana educators, all from Lafayette Parish School System, earned the distinction of being named to the Renaissance National Honor Roll for significant reading achievement of their students through the Accelerated Reader Program.  AR, as it is commonly referred to among students and faculty, engages K–12 students in independent reading practice and tests students’ reading comprehension.  Of the 25 educators across the state achieving outstanding performance in advancing students’ achievement in reading, 24 educators are from Ernest Gallet Elementary School and one from Martial Billeaud Elementary School.  Congratulations to students earning AR points for their reading efforts and the LPSS educators who received National Honor Roll status for leading their students to meet or exceed data targets in reading that research shows leads to significant student growth. 

New Process for the Withdrawal, Transfer, and Enrollment of Students - LPSS has implemented a new process regarding the withdrawal, transfer, and enrollment of students attending a zone school in grades 1-12.  Due to school closures and social distancing measures, LPSS wants to ensure that services, such as these, are available online in order to expedite the process and limit social interactions. All information regarding the withdrawal, transfer, and enrollment of students is located on the LPSS website at www. lpssoline.com/register.  School staff will resume in person registration services on July 31, 2020. In the interim, families are encouraged to continue to visit the LPSS district website for enrollment information and updates such as these.

Teaching/Learning Scenarios - Staff has spent the last several months preparing for various start of school scenarios.  Of course, our hope is that we will be able to begin school in the traditional manner we have in the past.  In the event that a traditional start is not advisable, we are planning for two other possible scenarios.  Those being, a blended/hybrid learning experience where smaller groups of students (Group A and Group B) report to school on alternate days, then continue learning at home on the other days.  The third scenario would come into play if we would have a complete closure of particular schools or of all schools.  This is the Virtual/Distant Learning model where all learning is done online.  We have, through CARES act funds, ordered the necessary technology to support student and teacher needs in this model.  We are working with community leaders on improving connectivity to the internet for students identified as not having it at this time.  In all scenarios mentioned above, we are confident that we are in a better position to support continued learning in the event that we face full or partial closures of school in the future.  Our start date for students regardless of the plan that we start school with in the fall is August 13, 2020.  On or around June 20th, districts will receive additional state guidance and recommendations and at that time we will be in a better position to move forward with a more definite teaching and learning plan for August 2020.
