We are so proud of Lafourche Parish School Board Member BuffyLynn Charpentier, who is currently serving on the Board of Directors of the Louisiana School Boards Association (LSBA). Charpentier, who represents District 9 here in Lafourche Parish, was sworn in earlier this spring at LSBA’s annual convention. She was elected to this role by her peers in LSBA, which has more than 600 members representing Louisiana’s 68 locally elected public school systems, and serves the organization as a powerful voice and advocate for all public school students and educators across the state.

Louisiana’s results on the National Education Scorecard were released Wednesday, and the Lafourche Parish School District continues to demonstrate marked growth among our peers, particularly in the area of math.

Lafourche Parish was one of four Louisiana school systems recognized as a “District of the Rise” for showing exceptional progress in math compared to similar districts around the state. LPSD received similar recognition last fall for demonstrating the third-highest growth in math proficiency in grades three through eight on LEAP.

“This recognition is a testament to the effort of our students and the unwavering dedication of our educators,” said Superintendent Jarod W. Martin. “This achievement reflects countless hours of hard work in our classrooms and a collective commitment to academic excellence across the district. While we celebrate this significant milestone, it also serves as a catalyst for future growth. We remain steadfast in our mission to build upon this momentum, ensuring every student has the tools and support necessary to reach their full potential.”

Overall, Louisiana was number one among states in reading growth, number two in math growth, and the only state to surpass 2019 levels in both reading and math.

We are incredibly grateful for our families and our community for their continued support as we strive for excellence. Let’s keep moving forward together!
