===Elections===
: ''See also: [[Jefferson Parish Public School System, Louisiana, elections]]


===Election dates===
All nine seats on the Jefferson Parish School Board are up for election in November every four years.  
::''See also: [[Jefferson Parish Public Schools elections (2014)]] and [[Jefferson Parish Public Schools elections (2018)]]''
The nine school board members are elected concurrently by district in partisan elections. This means that regular school board elections are held every four years with all nine members being up for re-election at that time. Additionally, all members are elected by a geographically defined district which they represent. '''Nine seats''' were up for general election on [[Jefferson Parish Public Schools elections (2014)|November 4, 2014]], and '''two seats''' {{Greener|start=12/6/2014 9:00pm CDT|before=will be|after=were}} determined in a runoff on [[Jefferson Parish Public Schools elections (2014)|December 6, 2014]]. The next regular school board election {{Greener|start=11/6/2018 9:00pm CDT|before=will be|after=were}} held in November 2018.


School board candidates in Louisiana are elected by majority vote, which means the winner must receive more than 50 percent of the votes cast in the general election to win the seat. Runoff elections are held between the top two candidates for races where no candidate receives a majority. Candidates who are unopposed at the end of a candidate filing period are considered elected as of that date.<ref name=term>[http://www.sos.la.gov/ElectionsAndVoting/PublishedDocuments/QualificationsOfCandidates.pdf ''Louisiana Secretary of State'', "QUALIFICATIONS OF CANDIDATES," accessed September 2, 2014]</ref>

{{School board data analysis}}
C. PUBLIC COMMENT ON AGENDA ITEMS<BR>
:1. A public comment period shall be held before any vote is taken on an agenda item. Comments from the public shall occur after introduction of the item to be voted on and before any discussion by Board members. However, a person is not entitled to take up business before the Board requiring a vote unless the item in which he/she is interested has been placed on the agenda of that meeting. Should the item be withdrawn, there will not be a public comment period on the item.<BR>
:2. Before each meeting of the Board, a copy of the agenda for that meeting shall be posted at the meeting place or otherwise conspicuously displayed. Any person wishing to speak on any of the items listed in such agenda must complete and submit a Speaker's Card containing the name of the person, the name of any organization or group for whom the individual wishes to speak, and the specific agenda item about which the person wishes to speak. A separate card must be completed and submitted for each different agenda item on which the individual would like to address the Board.<BR>

:4. As the Board reaches each item on its agenda, the Board Vice President shall review the submitted cards and shall call on those persons indicating a desire to speak on that agenda item. Each person may speak for not more than three (3) minutes on each item. The Board shall delay its deliberations on each agenda item until after all members of the public who have submitted cards in accordance with this procedure have been given an opportunity to speak.
:5. In the event that the Board should add an item to its agenda after the Board meeting begins, a slightly different procedure shall be followed. After the item has been added to the Board’s agenda by vote of the Board, the Board President shall orally request of the audience whether anyone in attendance would like to speak on that item. Each person indicating a desire to do so shall be given a period not to exceed three (3) minutes to address the Board on each agenda item. The Board shall delay its deliberations on each agenda item until such time as all interested members of the public have had an opportunity to speak.
:6. At the conclusion of all public input on each agenda item, the Board shall deliberate the matter and take such action as it considers appropriate. There shall be no further public input allowed on each agenda item after the Board has begun its deliberation of that item.
:7. Copies of this procedure shall be available for distribution to the public during regular business hours and at meetings of the Board and its committees.
D. PUBLIC COMMENT ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS
:1. The Public Comment on Non-agenda Items section of the agenda, which shall be held during regular meetings, shall be designed to give the public an opportunity to make statements, or comments on school related issues.

All persons addressing the Board shall be treated courteously by Board members. Any person who fails or refuses to obey the rulings and directions of the presiding officer, or otherwise disrupts the meeting in any manner, shall be requested by the presiding officer to leave the meeting room for the remainder of that meeting. If any person refuses to follow the directions of the presiding officer, the presiding officer shall make a motion to remove that person under La. R.S. 42:17(C). If affirmed, the presiding officer shall cause such person to be removed from the meeting as authorized by La. Rev. Stat. Ann. 42:17(C)and other applicable Laws of the State of Louisiana.<BR>
F. Derogatory statements about, or directed at a Board member or any employee, shall not be allowed. Speakers who wish to make such comments shall be directed to submit their complaints by signed written statement. Written complaints shall be referred to the President of the Board, the Superintendent, or a designee who shall investigate the complaint, initiate further appropriate action, and notify the members of the Board of its disposition.<BR>
G. The Board or Superintendent and his/her staff will not, as a rule, answer questions from the public during the Public Commento n Non-Agenda Items period.

==Academic performance==
==Academic performance==
Louisiana administers three main sets of tests to measure the academic performance of K-12 students: DIBELS Next, ''i''LEAP and End-of-Course tests. Additionally, districts are given a letter ranking of A-F based on performance across all grades of students.
Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the [[U.S. Department of Education]], proficiency measurements are established by the states.

==Students==

Those who meet the benchmark levels are placed in the "core" category, indicating they only need core reading curriculum going forward.

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:

Noteworthy events

2009: Board term limits

On July 1, 2009, Governor Bobby Jindal (R) signed House Bill 504 into law as Act 291. This act created term limits for members of the Jefferson Parish school board by amending state statutory language.

The amended language stated:

“ Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, a member of the Jefferson Parish School Board, who at the end of his term of office on the board will have served as a member of the board for more than two and one-half terms in three consecutive terms, such service being during terms that began on or after January 1, 2010, shall not be elected to the board for the succeeding term.[16] ”
—Louisiana State Legislature website, (2009)[17]
