Board Meeting Comments

Consider students that are attending schools in one zone to complete their level of education at the same school. Moving schools is an unnecessary stressor for children and parents if the situation is a comfortable one. This is a special hindrance for students with exceptionalities. We were able to do this with my son, he has autism, and he was "grandfathered" in to be able to stay at the school he attended. Also consider that children with exceptionalities should be able to go to any school that can provide services at the level they need, and a parent can move the child if the school is not providing adequate services. This happened to my child, my son was at a blue ribbon school, but they did not do well with children with autism because their focus was not inclusion. We had to move about 2 miles to get him to a school that would provide services, and was able to complete his elementary education at that school due to his exceptionality and being "grandfathered".

Will this redistricting plan cut funding to our schools after the city of St. George formed? Does having fewer students mean that there will be less funding?

Thank you for a great first public forum. Please imbed today’s forum on the website and also please consider a Facebook live as well so that those watching may submit comments. It would be more accessible and less cumbersome than people having to submit comments here during the public forums. Thank you, again!

I'm in Mr. Bellue's district with two children in the EBR system. I believe our community would best be served by a board with at least 11 and preferably up to 15 single member districts. This is a great opportunity to create compact districts that lower the ratio of constituents to board members thus allowing for more public input. I urge the board to request and vote on maps with 11, 13 or 15 member districts.

Since the last census, the EBR School board has voluntarily shrunk itself down from 12 to 11 and then 9 members, largely under the justification of efficiency. But I’m not sure that anyone who has been watching would agree that outcome has been achieved. The constituent-board member ratio in the current 9 district framework is over 40,000:1, one of the highest in the state. That’s a lot of people for a part-time board member to get to know, understand, and represent effectively. Larger districts are more expensive to campaign and win in. EBR School board campaign budgets have ballooned from double to triple digits in the last decade. Rather than becoming more efficient, the result of downsizing is a board that has lost touch with the public that it represents, and has instead become too influenced by deep-pocketed groups who pour money into members' campaigns. Board members can address these concerns by looking to the wisdom of small class sizes and restoring the 11 or 12 district map

As an active parent in EBR public schools and a constant voter, I want more districts that reflect the composition of our schools. The Voting Rights Act requires at least 50% of districts must have a black majority. 80% of the children in our schools are black. Our school board need to look more like our children. Also, smaller districts are better for parents. The plan needs 11 districts or more. Thank you, Sarah McMorris Marcello, LMSW Attorney at Law

Fair representation is important to me. I urge you to create a redistricting plan with no less than 11 districts in which at least half of those districts are majority Black.

Absolutely, more districts are needed. Another change I'd like to see - the Commission made up of a couple parents. Not to say that those currently aren't. But I'm suggesting, the parents selected, are on the board because they are a parent, not a Professor or an Attorney or the President of a fortune 500 company. Lastly, I am frustrated that my neighborhood school(s) are turned into Magnet schools, which has my kids getting bused further away to attend "regular" schools. This is not fair at all. Build magnet schools if you wish. Stop taking our neighborhood schools from us. Thank you.

As a resident and future EBRPSS parent, I believe the our board should be as equitable as possible. Please update the number of school board members to 11 to help ensure that everyone in our district is properly represented.

I think our district would better be served by an 11 person board. We have issues currently meeting the bare necessities of schools and we wouldn't want things to descend into a tailspin. A division of workload with more people to shoulder the weight is part of the solution.

I’m writing to request fair maps for our school system. At least half the seats should be majority Black since that’s what is reflected in our schools. There should be smaller district sizes also. No plan should be considered that has less than 11 districts. A school system should be supported by and look like the community it serves!

I have lived in East Baton Rouge Parish for 14 years. I spent two years in the VIPS program reading to 1st graders at Woodlawn Elementary School. While my daughter is 28, and lives in DC, I am still very concerned with the redistricting efforts for the EBR School Board. I fully support the current 9-member representation for our school board, which provides a manageable and productive school board. Additionally, in concert with the requirements of the Voting Rights Act, I strongly encourage you to take into consideration reasonable geographic and cultural considerations when developing district boundaries, resulting in districts that are relatively compact and align communities of common interest. To the extent possible, compact districts containing like cultures and norms should be the goal. In conclusion, I respectfully request that in drawing maps, you take into consideration both geographical and cultural norms while striving to create as compact as possible districts.

I am a lifetime, 69 year resident of EBR Parish with adult children, and now grandchildren who are school age. I believe that fair and representative redistricting is paramount for the spirit of a truly representative democracy which our Republic mandates. I fully support the current 9-member representation for our school board, which provides a manageable and productive school board. Additionally, in concert with the requirements of the Voting Rights Act, I strongly encourage you to take into consideration reasonable geographic and cultural considerations when developing district boundaries, resulting in districts that are relatively compact and align communities of common interest. Extreme gerrymandering must be avoided. To the extent possible, compact districts containing like cultures and norms should be the goal. I respectfully request that in drawing maps, you take into consideration geographical and cultural norms while striving to create as compact as possible district.

We need racially proportionate district and we need 11 of them. We need appropriate democratic control of public schools that a map that meets these criteria can deliver.

On Redistricting, please take reasonable geographic and cultural considerations and communities of interest being a priority and that you strongly support maintaining a nine-member board. Thank you.

I am grateful to have been able to attend both public forums and board workshops throughout this process. Those I have not been able to attend, I have watched via the you tube channel and I hope all board members have done the same. Your constituents have repeatedly asked for 11 and 15 member maps, and many have been discussed at great length by your constituents - and even created by thoughtful and engaged constituents. The Finney 11 member map and Finney 15 member maps should be included in the advertisement to the public and should be of strong consideration as one of the plans to be adopted. Please listen to your engaged constituents in this process that will have a 10 year impact on our children.

I saw the move to shrink our board and the money that the flowed into our school board elections to elect board members to do the bidding of outside interests. All the efforts to privatize our district and make all these “boutique” schools are NOT what actual stakeholders want. We want bright, clean, welcoming schools with qualified, happy, appreciated teachers, supportive administrators, solid curricula that includes music, art, and RECESS at the elementary levels and interesting electives and sports opportunities for middle and high school. We want EVERY school to have this broad foundation so that our children can jump off in any direction they choose upon graduating. I want MORE single member districts so that there is a higher chance for actual public school supporters to be elected. Shrinking our district just made it so outside interests had fewer elections to buy. I want smaller districts so that maybe, just maybe our board members will listen to their actual stakeholders.

I strongly favor expanding the size of the board to 11 or 15 single-member districts. The current districts are too large to offer personal attention and guidance.

I am a concerned member of the community and my daughter graduated from EBR public schools in 2020. I believe it is important that we have a larger school board in order to more accurately and effectively represent the population of EBR. I urge you to listen to the public and consider ONLY plans with 11+ single member districts, with at least half of the district being majority black.

Increasing the number of single-member districts is the best means we have to mitigate the influence of unlimited campaign spending by corporations and outside interests in our school board elections. I wholeheartedly support an increase in the number of single-member districts in the new EBR School Board map adopted during this redistricting process. I ask that you recommend both the Finney 15-Member Plan and the Finney 11-Member Plan for consideration at the meeting this Thursday, March 3rd. I hope to see both of these maps published in the Advocate for the public’s consideration.

Dear Board Members, Please introduce the Finney 15-single member map and 11 single-member map in the school board meeting/redistricting workshop tomorrow night. I would like to see more options for the maps that go beyond the 9 single-member map. We need a different approach to governing and have seen great success with larger school boards across the state and country. Thank you!

East Baton Rouge has grown over these last 10 years. With growth comes changes, as change is inevitable. We must change for the better, and a better EBR School Board means better representation. Better representation of the changes our parish has seen, and the people who live here. We must entertain the option of a 15 single member district board that ensures that all parents, children, and residents are adequately represented. This number of school board members will allow parents to have greater access to their leaders. This will also allow the current members of the board to focus more on their communities, and not have them stretched as thin as they are. We must introduce and support a 15 single member district school board. We must change EBR, not only from a reflective point, but from a principled place. We do this because we owe it to the children, parents, and our community.

Please expand the districts

We need more districts in EBR. This will be the easiest way to get money out of politics. I'm reading reports where Michael Bloomberg donated to our school board AND to the BESE board. Why is he donating to this state? Best way to keep out of state money OUT of our parish is to make more seats on the board. Not to mention how much more representation this allows for. More board members mean more groups get to have their voices heard. Vote for opening 11 districts. Or even more!

Please advance Ware 11 and Finney 15. —-Concerned EBR Schools graduate and parent.

Please give equal rep to all demographics. Our city will not heal until we begin to do so.

It is the right thing to do.

I also like the Ware/Collins 11-single member map. This is an equitable and just map that meets the racial proportionality and competitiveness, compactness concerns many of us in the community have. Please consider all 11 single member maps!

Members of the EBR school board. I live in the EBR school district (70791) and I ask you today to formally support and vote on a map with 11 or higher single-member districts - with a majority of those districts being a black majority. These changes to the board will better reflect the changing demographics of East Baton Rouge and provide a lower constituent to board member ratio thus allowing for more community input into our school system.

Agenda Item: Selection of Maps. I support moving BOTH the Ware Collins 11 member plan and the Finney 15 member plan forward. Both of these plans meet the criteria that the community is asking for. Members of the community have been vocally engaged throughout the process calling for maps that expand the number of single-member districts and increase the number of majority Black districts. Thank you!

Please vote to move the Ware Collins 11 and the Finney 15 member plans toward.

I support the Ware Collins 11 & Finney 15 member plans.

I support moving BOTH the Ware Collins 11 member plan and the Finney 15 member plan forward. Both of these plans meet the criteria that the community is asking for and they both put us in a better position than we are today. It is time for fair representation.

I support the Ware Collins 11 and Finney 15 member plans.

I support the Ware Collins 11 & Finney 15 member plans.

I support the Ware Collins 11 & Finney 15 member plans.

Please increase the board to at least 11 single member districts. Thank you, Kait

I am in support of moving BOTH the Ware Collins 11 member plan and the Finney 15 member plan forward.

I am in favor of BOTH the Ware Collins 11 and the Finney 15 member plans for Redistricting. Both of these plans meet the criteria that we, the community, are asking for in expanding the number of single member districts and increasing the number of majority Black districts.

Please move forward with an 11 or 15 seat district map. The current number is just not acceptable for properly representing the interest of constituents and getting us where we need to be.

As an EBR Schools parent and a voter I ask you to please move forward the Ware Collins 11 member plan and the Finney 15 member plan. Both of these plans speak to our community's needs.

TO EBRPSS BOARD MEMBERS: I respectfully submit that the Board vote to expand the single-member districts and increase the number of majority Black districts. Voting to increase the school board to an 11 member or 15 member board which are supported by Ware Collins and Finney would provide fair representation for the communities of East Baton Rouge Parish. Both plans meet the criteria that the community is seeking and they both put citizens, students and stakeholders in a better position than we are today! If you are committed to quality education and fair representation then vote for either of these plans.

I would like to see the plans recommending the 11 member and 15 member redistricting be advanced. Our community needs broader representation, and as a life-long resident of Baton Rouge and product of our public school system, I believe this change is needed.

Requesting that the 11 district and 15 district proposals be put forward as consideration for EBR school board redistricting plans

I'm asking the Board to allow redistricting to be drawn with 11 or 15 members to allow for proper representation of the students and families in East Baton Rouge Parish. The board should reflect the people of this district and not the self outside interest which promotes charters instead of the public schools within this district. Thanks for your consideration. Regards, Ansel

I am writing regarding the redistricting plans for the school board. I would like to urge the board to approve for consideration the 11 member map proposed by School Board members Collins and ware and the 15 member map proposed by Dr. Finney. I believe this will provide more equitable representation and broader perspectives on all of the issues facing the school board. A dynamic mix of seasoned and experienced members and new ones with fresh eyes and new ideas would be a welcomed and desirable change.

The board just reflect the community. All eleven districts must be fairly represented.

Please move the Ware Collins 11 & Finney 15 member plans forward! Thank you!

In the city where 52-54% of the population is African-American, the school board should look like the city since the other parish cities have withdrawn from the school district. Especially since we only have District 4 as minority district. Districts 2, 3 and 5 have been brought and pay for by the Baton Rouge Chamber.

Please move forward with redistributing plans that include smaller districts and racial proportional options. I support considering Ware Collins 11 and Finney 15 plans.

Please move the Ware Collins 11 member plan and the Finney 15 member plan forward. Please listen to the many community members asking for this.

I am in support of moving BOTH the Ware Collins 11 member plan and the Finney 15 member plan forward. Both of these plans meet the criteria that the community is asking for and they both put us in a better position than we are today.

Move forward on Ware Collins 11 or Finney 15 to have representation for the schools of EBR. Thank you.

Dear Members of the Board, Please publish the Ware/Collins Plan and the Finney 15 member plan in the advertisement for the public. In 2014 the board held two in person public input sessions following the publication of 5 maps before the vote on a final adoption of the plan. I urge you to have two of these opportunities prior to voting on a final plan so the public can provide feedback on the final maps for consideration. The statute clearly states the advertisement must include the dates and times the maps will be displayed for public inspection. While the public forums have been helpful in educating some members of the public, they were only advertised on social media and the website. It is imperative the advertisements include opportunities for the public to engage with the board on the final plans for consideration. Thank you.

I support the Ware-Collins plan for an eleven member board and the Finney plan for a fifteen member board. Valid arguments have been made for both with supporting material provided.

Please consider the 11 and 15 district maps.

We need a school board that supports the entire community. I believe that the Ware/Collins 11 member plan and the Finney 15 member plan are the ONLY plans that should be considered. Please do what's right for our children!

Consider the proposals for a larger board. It’s beyond time to reflect our demographics and the number of constituents in our district. It is clear looking at other districts around the state that we have far fewer board members per capita than others, and worse scores. Do the right thing and represent all of your constituents. As a parent I do no see that stakeholders, parents and teachers, are represented and supported adequately in our current system, and students suffer.

As we all know representation matters, in order to make board decisions more democratic, please consider the 11 and 15 member board plans.

As our city continues to grow, it is critical that our School Board reflect the diversity represented in our population, and that its members be responsive to their constituents' concerns. These are among the many reasons for which the re-districting discussion must consider and publish maps that would increase the number of Board members. In particular, I ask that you consider and publish the 11-member plan proposed by members Ms. Evelyn Ware-Jackson & Ms. Dawn Collins, and the 15-member plan proposed by Mr. James Finney. Thank you.

I believe in fair representation therefore, I am in support of moving BOTH the Ware Collins 11 member plan and the Finney 15 member plan forward. Both of these plans meet the criteria that the community is asking for at public forums being held throught the city with the demographer hired by the board

I am requesting the publication and consideration of the Ware/Collins 11 member plan and the Finney 15 member plan. Our district needs more efficient constituent to board member ratio for democracy to work as it should.

Racial proportionality is essential. Please expand the EBR School district size to 11 members.

Would be more inclusive and would serve the population that is in the majority of public schools if had more representation on the board Ware Collins plan or Finney Plan is my recommendation as a parent of a child presently in the EBR school system.

REgarding to the increase in districts, the best course of action would be to increase the number of districts - especially to better reflect the actual makeup of our city. 11 would be acceptable but 15 may be preferable to try to future proof for our growing city.

In response to Charles May Jr., the City of St. George is not a foregone conclusion, the fight continues, as do the lawsuits! Viva La Baton Rouge!

Dear EBR School Board, I am a resident of East Baton Rouge parish urging you to comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in redistricting the School Board following the 2020 U.S. Census. In order to ensure Black voters have an equal opportunity to participate in the political process and elect candidates of their choice, as required by Section 2, we urge you to ensure at least half of the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board districts are majority-Black districts. The East Baton Rouge Parish School Board has a broad impact on the education of the students in the system. The School Board sets budgetary, curricular, hiring, and resource priorities for the more than 40,000 Black school children in the East Baton Rouge Parish School System, over 80 percent of whom are economically disadvantaged. Without a map in which at least half of the districts are majority-Black, I am concerned Black voters will remain underrepresented on the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board. Black students comprise 71.9% of the student body and white students comprise only 11.4%. The Power Coalition for Equity and Justice and NAACP Legal Defense Fund have confirmed it is possible to draw a school board map in which at least half of the districts are majority-Black, provided the map contains at least nine single-member districts. I am asking the EBR School Board to adopt at least an 11 member map. This will stop the unnecessary and harmful packing of Black voters into less than half of the school board districts. In 2014, the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board reduced its size from 11 members to nine members. An act that weakened Black representation on the School Board and lead to a school board less responsive to the needs of Black communities. Elected Leaders should NOT prioritize partisan strategies over compliance with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. Expand the East Baton Rouge School Board to at least an 11 member district and allow the people to elect candidates of their choice to the School Board!

EBR school districts are some of the largest in the state and large districts give an advantage to out of town groups who use their money to influence how our schools are run. Smaller districts allow families to have more of a say on important issues, as well as being better representative of our community generally. Please approve an expanded school district plan.

Good morning. I am a retired educator who spent most of my professional career working with and supporting classrooms for students with autism and severe cognitive delays I strongly urge support of moving BOTH the Ware Collins 11 member plan and the Finney 15 member plan forward. Both of these plans meet the criteria that the community is asking for at public forums being held throughout the city with the demographer hired by the board. All of our citizens deserve the right to be represented on the Board. Thank you in advance for your attention to this important matter.

Dear Board Members, I write to request that all members the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board request the 11-single member map, and the 15-single member map devised by James Finney for publication and that you support the adoption of one of them, preferably the 15- single member map. Why?, you may ask. Well, as an African-American citizen of this parish, I want my school board to fairly represent my demographic. As of now, it does not. Further, I want my school board to represent and protect my best interests., as well as that of the public good, for which the public stood up and pays taxes to support. This school board presently does not do that. In fact, it seems that if it is in the public's true interest and good, this board cannot summon the understanding and courage to support it. You've already heard the arguments in favor of creating predominantly African American districts for this school board. They are valid and fair. Please support them. Thank you.

I am in support of moving BOTH the Ware Collins 11 member plan and the Finney 15 member plan forward. Both of these plans meet the criteria that the community is asking for and they both put us in a better position than we are today.

Please move both the Ware/Collins 11 member plan and the Finney 15 member plan forward. Both have what our community needs. Thank you very much.

I'm a public school parent with kids at FLAIM and Westdale Middle. I've been impressed with Evelyn Ware Jackson's commitment to engage with her constituents, but I know if the school board districts were smaller, school board members would be able to better represent the communities they serve, be able to go to more school events, get to know the teachers, and be better aware of the boots-on-the-ground realities of the schools in their districts. Right now, the districts are far too large. I fully support both the Ware/Collins and the Finney plans.

I am a resident of East Baton Rouge parish urging you to comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in redistricting the School Board following the 2020 U.S. Census. In order to ensure Black voters have an equal opportunity to participate in the political process and elect candidates of their choice, as required by Section 2, we urge you to ensure at least half of the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board districts are majority-Black districts. Right now with 9 board members, our voices aren’t being heard. More board members will open up new avenues for community and fairness. 1 person to or more right now. EBR schools are not in good shape at all. You are battling losing kids to charter schools or leaving the district all together. We need new ideas. The boards members now aren’t as active as they can be. We need smaller districts to produce better schools. How can 9 members meet the need of the community? Remember that most of the people in theses districts are blacks.

I am in support of moving BOTH the Ware Collins 11 member plan and the Finney 15 member plan forward. Both of these plans meet the criteria that the community is asking for and they both put us in a better position than we are today.

Dear School Board, I first of all want to thank you for your hard work you are doing to bring education to my and all children in this district. I have significant concerns about this redistricting process, however. I will try to synthesize my concerns. Mainly, I see a public school system that is majority black governed by a majority white school board. This feels wrong to me, as I'm guessing it does to you. I looked at some of the recommended maps, and it appears only the Finney 11 and 15 address that. If I am mistaken, I trust one of you will address this publicly. Good public service means serving the reality as it actually exists. I trust you will recommend one of the maps that gives a better chance at the parish being represented as it actually is.

I urge the board to vote in favor of either Finney's 11 single member, Finney's 15 single member, Ware Collins’s 11 single member map, or some combination thereof in order to insure proper representation on our school board for all of the children in our diverse city.

I am in support of moving BOTH the Ware Collins 11 member plan and the Finney 15 member plan forward. Both of these plans meet the criteria that the community is asking for and they both put us in a better position than we are today.

There needs to be better representation and accountability to the families that trust you to have our children's best educational interests as your top priority. I am in support of moving BOTH the Ware Collins 11 member plan and the Finney 15 member plan forward. Both of these plans meet the criteria that the community is asking for and they both put us in a better position than we are today.

Before any redistricting plan is adopted, the EBR School Board needs to pass a resolution to get back to 12 single member districts. This would not be an actual increase from the current 9, but rather a return to the representation as it was a decade ago, when the Board reduced itself despite parish wide population growth. Since the last census, we’ve added over 10,000 adults of voting age, so the School Board needs to return to at least the 12 seats we had before 2011. Members cannot responsibly represent their constituents in districts that are so widely spread and/or too populous to connect with all residents. I urge our Board to take this restorative action immediately so that equitable district maps can be finalized by the legislative deadlines.

I am in favor of moving either the Finney (proposed 15 member district) or the Ware Collins (proposed 11 member district) forward.

Please advance the Ware-Collins 11 and the Finney 15 plans for publication and final consideration. We need districts that are racially proportional to our population. Increasing the districts will also decrease the population in each district and a smaller constituent-to-board-member ratio will give board members a more manageable number of constituents. Just like teachers can give more attention to individual students when they have smaller class sizes, board members can have more meaningful interaction with constituents if districts are smaller. Please select the Ware-Collins 11 plan and the Finney 15 plan.

Hello -- I have been a resident of baton rouge for almost 20 years now, and I think expanding the number of single member districts and creating more representation of areas traditionally overlooked in the power games within BR. Please move forward the Ware Collins 11 member plan and the Finney 15 member plan.

Racial proportionality is fundamental. The EBR student body is 80% Black, but there has never been a majority of Black members on the EBR school board. To comply with the Voting Rights Act, at least half of the districts should be majority black. Smaller districts are better for EBR Schools. EBR school districts are some of the largest in the state. Large districts give an advantage to out of town groups who use their money to influence how our schools are run. Smaller districts allow families to have more of a say on important issues. We urge school board members to not approve any plan with less than 11 districts.

The East Baton Rouge Parish School Board should expand the number of seats from 9 back to a minimum of 11. The map configuration proposed by Dawn Collins and Evelyn Jackson Ware, which include 6 majority African American Districts, most closely aligns with the demographic population shifts that have taken place in the parish over the last decade.

Dear Board Members -- please consider the Ware/Collins 11 member and the Finney 15 member maps. Our board members should represent the demographic of our district better and look more like our current student body. I believe a racially proportionate School Board will help us attain the quality and equity we all want for EBRP district students, families, teachers, and staff. I feel a larger number of seats allows more personal knowledge and engagement with constituencies by the board members, to better understand and actualize the needs and goals of the families of the students of the district. Please advance the Ware/Collins 11 seat map and the Finney 15 seat map for thoughtful consideration. Regards, Anne Patton EBRPSS graduate and parent

Dear EBR School Board Members, Please introduce for consideration the Finney 15-Member Plan and the Ware/Collins 11-Member Plan. I strongly support racially proportional representation and more districts that are smaller in size in the new EBR School Board map adopted during this redistricting process. Including these maps for the public’s consideration will demonstrate your commitment to best serving the East Baton Rouge community and support your actions to improve public education. Thank you. Irene Kato Parent of EBRPSS student and EBRPSS teacher

I am in favor of in support of moving both the Ware Collins 11 member plan and the Finney 15 member plan forward. Thank you.

Please support efforts to expand the number of districts for the School Board. When the Board eliminated seats a few years ago, the representation of many areas was reduces or diluted. Please expand the board to 11 seats if not 15. The school board needs more voices of parents and community organizations represented.

Please adopt the proposals to expand the School Board membership to either 11 or 15 districts to give parents and others more voice by reducing the number of people that each School Board member represents. Fewer citizens per School Board member provides for better community involvement in the system.

I am in support of moving BOTH the Ware Collins 11 member plan and the Finney 15 member plan forward. Both of these plans meet the criteria that the community is asking for and they both put us in a better position than we are today.

This is an extremely large school district, serving students and neighborhoods with a wide variety of needs. The current districts are too large for a school board member to serve effectively especially because it is a “part time” position. Smaller and more districts (12-15) would allow board members to better serve the schools and neighborhoods and be held more accountable to their constituents.

I'm a 30+ year resident of EBR Parish with adult children, & now grandchildren who are nearing school age. I believe that fair & representative redistricting is paramount for the spirit of a truly representative democracy which our Republic mandates. I fully support the current 9-member representation for our school board, providing a manageable & productive team. Additionally, in concert with the requirements of the Voting Rights Act, I strongly encourage you to take into consideration reasonable geographic & cultural considerations when developing district boundaries, resulting districts that are relatively compact & align communities of common interest. Extreme gerrymandering must be avoided. To the extent possible, compact districts containing like cultures & norms should be the goal. In conclusion, I respectfully request that in drawing maps, you take into consideration both geographical & cultural norms while striving to create as compact as possible districts. Thank you.

For the upcoming redraw of the school board districts here in EBR, we see that a demographer has been hired to help guide this project. This move acknowledges that the demographics in EBR have changed since the last redraw. We would like to think that each board member will prayerfully consider what is fair and right as they review and approve a new district map that will most accurately reflect our changed demographics and the diversity that we have in our community. It sure does look like the fair and right thing to do would be to go back to 11 districts instead of 9, with 6 representing majority Black districts and 5 representing majority White, as this ratio would truly reflect the new demographics. We appreciate all the work you folks have been doing. I am thankful that my kids received a pretty good public education here in EBR. We want to do all we can to offer the same opportunities to all of the kids in our parish. Respectfully, Ed Britton 1222 Kimbro DR Baton Rouge, LA

I support the Collins-Ware Jackson-11 member map. It balances increasing the school board and respecting the real statistics of the Census. I hope that all board members will take this process seriously and work to increase the number of seats on the board.

I do support the 11 (eleven) member district map submitted by board members Ware-Jackson/Collins. The map results in a fair representation of our population. Thanks - Andreas Hansen

I fully support the 11 member redistricting plan submitted by Collins and Ware-Jackson as the most equitable and workable for the benefit of the children, families and citizens of EBR, all of whom are impacted by the decisions of the School Board, and all of whom need more representation.

Dear School Board Members, As a an EBR parent who lives in District 9, I am asking that each of consider the Ware-Collins 11 map for redistricting. The community spoke out during the redistricting process and demanded better representation. This plan achieves that through racial proportionality and smaller-sized districts. This plan will be a win for the community and for my district. I support the Ware-Collins 11 plan and I urge you to as well. It is time for each of you step up and take a stand for racial proportionality for the EBR public school district. Your constituents have been very vocal about what they would like to see happen on March 30th. It would be a travesty and complete dereliction of duty if the school board votes for any map that has only 9 members. Mrs. Ware-Jackson and Mrs. Collins put great effort into creating a map that would bring greater representation to the the district. Please vote for the Ware-Collins 11 map on March 30th. Sincerely, Annalee Campbell EBR Public School Parent District 9

I support expanding the school districts.

I’m writing in support of Ware Collins 11 plan for Redistricting. A redistricting map with only 9 school board members no longer represents a school district with 360,000 registered voters over the age of 18 (currently 40,000 voters/1 member). We want more representation by adding school districts and seats that will actually allow school board members to work for their constituents. The community spoke out during the redistricting process and we demand better representation! This plan achieves that through racial proportionality and smaller-sized districts. This plan will be a win for the community and school district. We support the Ware Collins plan; we urge you to, as well!

I strongly feel that the EBR School Board needs to expand districts. I support the Ware-Jackson/Collins 11 Member Map. Baton Rouge parents like me need a more representative board that can be more responsive to our opinions and concerns. Outside money has shackled the current board to outside interests and agendas. The current board structure has too few districts for our population.

I ask the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board to adopt a new map which increases the number of single member districts. We need additional districts in order to reduce the ratio between elected officials and constituents. Originally, the ideal ratio between elected official and constituents was approximately 23,000. With today’s population size, the elected official to constituent ratio of a nine district map is exponentially higher: 1 to approximately 43,000. In order to restore some semblance of balance, the new map would ideally consist of 15 districts. The Finney 15 map consists of 15 districts and meets all other legal requirements. At the very least, the EBR School Board should adopt a map with the same number of single member districts last approved by the Department of Justice. That would be 11 districts. The Ware-Collins map consists of 11 districts and meets all other legal requirements. The school board should ideally adopt the Finney 15. If not Finney 15, then Ware-Collins

Continued from previous comment due to word limit. The current map which consists of only nine single member districts should NOT be considered the baseline. It is an unjust map that was adopted in 2014 and not subjected to preclearance. It was not approved by the Department of Justice, and it’s unlikely it would have survived a legal challenge in Federal court. A map with only 9 members is unacceptable. Ideally, the EBR School Board should adopt a map that restores the appropriate ratio of elected official to constituents, 1 to approximately 23,000. In order to near that ratio, the board should adopt the Finney 15, which contains 15 single member districts and meets all other legal requirements. At the very least, the board should adopt the Ware-Collins, which consists of 11 single-member districts and meets all other legal requirements. The last map approved by the Department of Justice had 11 single-member districts. This map is the true baseline.

I urge the board to adopt the Finney 15 map. It meets the legal requirements and gives better representation of the community on the school board.

Dear Members of the School Board, Please adopt the Ware-Collins 11 map. It is an excellent example of collaboration among your fellow board members. It meets guidelines by the Department of Justice. A greater sense of community if supported by this map as it reduces the leader-constituent ratio a bit. Support equity! Support your colleagues! Support Ware-Collins 11!

Dear Members of the School Board, The East Baton Rouge Parish Metro Council has 12 members representing 12 districts. Our School Board should have at least 11 or more to be comparable.I realize that you want a majority vote possible, but at least move towards the same districting system we have on the Metro Council. Please support Ware-Collins 11.

A school board that has the same number of members as the metro council seems like a step in the right direction. Consistency helps to promote transparency.

Please consider the Finney 15 member map as the best option. It has a lower board member to constituent ratio, which allows for more engagement from the member with the constituents. All districts are are within the (+-5%) of the average district size, which is a key component of drawing fair representative districts. The plan also has the appropriate majority African American districts which is compatible with the overall population of the school district. Please consider the Ware-Collins 11 member map as the second best option as it also meets many of the key characteristics of a fair map and the 11 member plan has a better member to constituent ratio than the current 9 member district. Thank you

Please support the Ware-Collins 11 plan! This plan is the best and only attempt by members to both comply with the VRA & incorporate the public's desire for more, smaller districts!

Please do not to move forward any maps that will land the district and taxpayers in a costly, drawn-out legal battle when you have a perfectly good option to avoid that!

Redistricting is not sport, to which some win, some lose. Redistricting is job. A vote for the Ware-Jackson/Collins plan is the morale, ethical, and Christian thing to do. To deny any person their rightful participation in shaping their destiny and that of their community is to alienate a person from their God-given duty and to participate in sin.

Please support the Ware-Jackson/Collins plan. Not all of us can make it to the school board meetings and yell behind the podium to beg the whites to the do the right the thing. But that's just it, the whites have too much power and are over-represented on the school board. it is about race. It's about race. It's about race. It's about race.

Please don't let the long beating drum of the same tired voices confuse the importance of this issue. I have two going on three children in EBR Schools. The last 2 years have been so hard on everyone! Kids are years behind, teachers are disrespected daily. But here we are with an opportunity for positive change and accountability. I have little faith writing a comment here, sending another email, crying behind the podium, nor making calls/texts to the the board members will make a difference. Many of us don't have the luxury to come to meeting after meeting after meeting to beg y'all do the do the right thing. And many of us can't get our concerns heard because representation is so poor. Please vote for the 11 member plan or 15 member plan for better representation for all families.

Greetings members of the board! My name is Cynthia Young and I'm the director and founder of Ripe for Victory. Our organization Ripe for Victory work to build civic power in communities of color and we do this work through voter and civic education outreach and career development services. Our focus is on people who have traditionally been left out the political process, particularly under resourced communities of color. I'm also a parent of school aged children in EBR school system so I write to you on behalf of parents of students in EBR school system as well. I'm submitting my testimony today in support of a 11-district school board. It is in the school system's best interest I believe to expand the East Baton Rouge School Board to an 11-member district and allow the people to elect candidates of their choice to the School Board! With more than half of our school district made up of students of color, it is only fair, the right and legal thing to do is expand the district.

Dear EBR School Board, I am a resident of East Baton Rouge parish urging you to comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in redistricting the School Board following the 2020 U.S. Census to ensure Black voters have an equal opportunity to participate in the political process and elect candidates of their choice, as required by Section 2.

I have submitted into the record an analysis by Tony Fairfax. He highlights the top 2 maps of the 19 maps, and i would like to reiterate the best maps that check all the boxes as it relates to compliance of the Voting Rights Act, are the Ware Collins 11 and the Finney 15. We need to rally behind these maps and vote on these maps tonight. I am imploring the board to pick a map that achieves racial proportionality, reflects the diversity of our district and provides for stronger voter strength, opposed to dilution. Please vote yes to the Ware Collins map.

We need the Ware-Jackson/Collins map to bring the EBR district back to a stasis of support that is manageable for our board, providers, and neighborhood/industry stakeholders. This is paramount for the survival of this public school district. I, like many young professional parents in the EBR, still believe in our schools and want my children and the peers they encounter to receive a robust public education in the district that we live in to support the future of our economy and social/cultural growth. We're hanging on by a thread because we believe in the public, equitable access to education. EBRPSS does provide and can perfect its delivery with the help of this map change. Do not let us down. Parent of a future Magnolia Woods Kindergartener, Morgan Udoh

As a parent of EBR students for the next 16 years, please reapportion our districts fairly according to the Voting Rights Act, which was amended the year after a federal judge forced EBR to finally integrate our schools within my lifetime. Section 2 requires we actively consider race to counteract the "effects of discrimination in areas such as education, employment, and health." Proposed 9-member "public plans" are rife with cracking and packing, such as dividing the compacted area of MidCity into 5 districts, or drawing a long skinny oval from Westdale to Southeast, or from Catholic to Episcopal - and if only one of those two descriptions resonates, that's what redistricting is intended to rectify. Please consider the Ware-Jackson and Finney maps, which increase the total number of representatives, in order to maximize their genuine relationship and accountability to their individual constituents.

I think it’s fairly obvious the people have spoken. As a parent of one child who has graduated the system and another who is still in the system I support the Ware Jackson/Collins map. BRAC’s involvement in this process is embarrassing and unethical. Why is the leader of BRAC won’t show their face, but send minions? Whatever happens here tonight this will not be the end even if the whites just want throw it to the courts and wait. Anything other than adopting the 11 member map is absolutely intended to maintain white supremacy.

Hola fellow readers. My circle is happy we came across the posts. Ive been web crawling for this info all my life and I will be telling my membership base to hop on by. The other day I was traversing through the best sites out there trying to find a resolution to my persistant questions. Now I am hoping to take it to the next level in whatever form I can.

Welcome to the world of adult Dating loveawake.ru

I would like to understand why the 5 School Board members chose Map 22? Why would the School Board spend a ton of money hiring a professional demographer and then choose a Map that was designed by a School Board Member who is not a demographer. Every board member’s constituent has the right to know WHY Map 22 was chosen by the 5 members that voted for it.

I attended three of the School Board meetings that addressed the re-districting, as well as one of the community meetings. I wrote to the Board members, and at the meeting when a vote was taken to select a map, I spoke in favor of the Collins-Ware Jackson 11 map. Not a single person who spoke during the public comment period expressed support for the map that was eventually chosen, Map 22. Like most of the Board members, my representative, Mr. Gaudet, provided no explanation of his rationale for voting to select Map 22. I can only speculate about why he ignored all of the citizens who urged the Board to vote for the Collins-Ware Jackson 11-member map; he and others owe their constituents an explanation for their votes.

I would like the school board members to publicly state why they voted for the redistricting map that they chose to move forward.
