Lafourche named ‘A’ school district, third best in state By Julia Arenstam Daily Comet Staff Writer
The Lafourche Parish School District was named one of four “A” school districts in the state under a new grading system released last week. The district placed third in the state overall with 90.5 points, just behind Zachary Community School District (93.6) and Ascension Parish (91.2). Terrebonne Parish School District was given a B grade of 83 points, tied for 20th in the state with Jefferson Davis Parish and one of 35 “B” schools in the state. Under the old formula, the grades would have been reversed between the two districts, with Terrebonne receiving an A and Lafourche a B. The 2017-18 school performance scores are based on new goals for the state’s accountability system. The state is increasing the guidelines for A schools through 2025 to ensure that they all have a “mastery of fundamental skills.” Other focuses are now placed on rewarding student progress and identifying and supporting struggling schools.
“This year’s results are based on more comprehensive information on student growth and achievement than ever before,” said Gary Jones, president of the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. “This enhanced performance data provides a more accurate snapshot of where we truly stand.” Lafourche schools Superintendent Jo Ann Matthews celebrated the news at last week’s School Board meeting. “We have a fine system, with great students and great staff ... and hopefully they get something they deserve, which is a pay increase,” she said. Matthews has been superintendent since 2005 and is preparing to retire at the end of the year. With such a long tenure at the school system, Matthews said she’s been able to appoint every single principal and assistant principal currently serving in the district. As the district prepares for its new superintendent, Louis Voiron, Matthews said she’s confident the school system will be able to move up to the No. 1 spot in the state. See Schools Page 2-A
Danielle Couturier, an elementary teacher in suburban New Orleans, gets to school at 7 a.m. and often works on lesson plans until 10 p.m. But the 15-hour days are not enough to make ends meet. She also teaches summer school for extra pay. Couturier, who has a master’s degree and 16 years of experience, makes $46,000 a year. After the first of her three children was born, she had to waitress on the weekends to earn more money. “We put our blood sweat and tears and our whole hearts into this,” she said. “I don’t feel valued. I never have. But, I’m okay with that because that’s not why I do it.” Teachers like Couturier have long been willing to accept being underpaid. But now many are saying enough of that. Educators in West Virginia, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Arizona reached a breaking point this year with a wave of walkouts and strikes over pay. And now, with teachers in Louisiana voicing concerns as well, Gov. John Bel Edwards’ top legislative priority is raising teacher pay by $1,800 to reach the average of just under $51,000 for Southern states. Edwards, the only Democratic governor in the Deep South, was elected in 2015 with strong support from the teacher’s union, and his wife is a former teacher. But it has taken Edwards and the Republican-led Legislature three years to stabilize the state’s finances. And while there is broad support to raise teacher pay, it could depend on whether the state is bringing in enough revenue to cover the $100 million-a-year cost without raising taxes. “I don’t think there’s anyone that thinks that our professional teachers don’t need a pay raise,” said Sen. Dan See Teachers Page 2-A
Analysis: Louisiana’s latest election has useful takeaways
By MELINDA DESLATTE Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana’s latest election offers lessons — or at least reminders — for the state’s politicians and their consultants: Money doesn’t always determine outcome, bipartisanship still can win races, and voters really like those stickers proving they went to the polls. While the state lacked the many highprofile, heavily contested races seen around the nation, wall-to-wall national news coverage and intensity seemed to drive voters to the polls in Louisiana as well, with turnout reaching an unexpected 49 percent statewide. That’s more enthusiasm than for the heated primary competition for Louisiana governor in 2015, when 342,000 fewer people showed up to cast their ballots.
Featured Listing in Grand Isle!
A few takeaways from Tuesday’s results: — The nine-person special election for secretary of state was a reminder that money can buy you exposure, but it can’t buy you the job. The candidate who raised and spent the most in the race, Republican state Rep. Julie Stokes of Kenner, finished fifth. Stokes spent more than $430,000 ahead of the primary, including some of her own money, according to campaign finance reports filed so far. The GOP contender who reached the Dec. 8 runoff, interim Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin, spent half that amount. The Democrat in the runoff, lawyer Gwen Collins-Greenup, raised less than $3,000. — The push for a constitutional change ending Louisiana’s use of non-unanimous juries to convict people of serious felony crimes demonstrates that while bipartisanship may be increasingly rare in elections See Election Page 8-A

A number of Republicans voted against a deal in June that extended .45 of a cent of sales tax to solve the state’s budget shortfall, and they are against any types of tax increases. What concerns

“Lafourche is on top of the mountain looking down,” she said, noting the small number of A schools. The Lafourche School District had six A schools: Central Lafourche High, Chackbay Elementary, St. Charles Elementary, Sixth Ward Middle, South Lafourche High and Thibodaux High. The Bayou Community Academy Charter school was also given an A grade. Only one school was given a D grade, South Thibodaux Elementary School. Terrebonne School District also had five A schools: H.L. Bourgeois High, Dularge Elementary, Mulberry Elementary, South Terrebonne High and Terrebonne High. Three schools were given D grades: Honduras Elementary, Legion Park Elementary and Oak Lawn Junior High. Terrebonne Superintendent Philip Martin said the district was celebrating the news but aware of the areas where it could continue to grow and improve. “When you’re first in some areas it’s hard to say you can get better, but you absolutely can,” Martin said, noting the district’s high scores in diploma strength and graduation rates.

legislators is what the effect on the overall budget would be and how the proposed salary raises would be dispersed, according to Rep. Mark Wright, RCovington. Wright said he would follow Landry’s lead on whether to support raises if taxes are increased. East Baton Rouge school employees considered walking out on Halloween Day to protest industrial property tax exemptions requested by ExxonMobil. These exemptions would cost the school district $6.5 million in revenue, according to a letter by the presidents of the American Federation of Teachers and East Baton Rouge Federation of Teachers. However, the company’s requests were not included on an economic development board agenda for that day, so the teachers postponed the walkout. Gov. Edwards would phase in a raise over two years, with a $1,000 increase in 2019, followed by $700 to $800 the next year, his spokesman, Richard Carbo, said. School support personnel would receive $500 pay raises. Even with those raises, Louisiana teachers would still make $8,200 less than the national average. Roughly 60 percent of public-school funding comes through the state’s Minimum Foundation Program, a formula recommended to the Legislature by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, according to Les Landon, a spokesman for the Louisiana Federation of Teachers. The 80 local school districts must raise revenue to cover the remaining 40 percent. Teachers in other majority red states who went on strike earlier this year received pay raises ranging from 5 to 20
percent. “I think what you saw in other states is that they didn’t have a governor or Legislature that was actively working to try and increase teacher pay,” Carbo said. “We’re in the process of doing that, and we’re going to work with them on it. We don’t see it going the route that some other states have gone.” But teachers continue to feel strained. Couturier, 42, teaches at Shirley T. Johnson/ Gretna Park Elementary School in Gretna and has spent $2,200 of her own money on classroom supplies. Her school only reimbursed $100, and she could deduct only $250 from her taxes. She also does not have the budget for unexpected personal expenses, like a recent trip to the dermatologist with her son for his dermatitis. She said she cannot buy the $120 medicine until her next paycheck. “It’s very frustrating as an educator to feel like you’re not supported by not only your society but your government,” Couturier said. A survey by the Louisiana Federation of Teachers in May showed that 60 percent of unionmember respondents favored job action if they were not granted a significant pay raise, Landon said. “We do understand that there is broad support for job actions if the Legislature continues to ignore the legitimate needs of teachers and school employees,” Landon said. The issue will ultimately fall on the Republican-majority Legislature. State E d u c a t i o n Superintendent John White supports the governor’s pay initiative, according to his press secretary, Sydni Dunn. Many lawmakers are up for reelection in 2019,
and K-12 education generally receives broad support among Louisiana residents. According to LSU’s 2018 Louisiana Survey, 63 percent of respondents would be willing to pay higher taxes for elementary and secondary education. The state also is now projecting a $300 million surplus for fiscal 2019. But Morrish, the Senate Education Committee chairman, said this money cannot be tapped directly to fund an ongoing expense like teacher pay raises. Instead, the state’s Revenue Estimating Conference, which determines state income and expense projections, is expected to meet soon to project the state’s operating revenue for next year. Morrish said Edwards seems comfortable that the forecast will include enough revenue for the teacher salary increases. Still, Landon said he anticipates a conflict over pay raises for school support employees. In addition to the 50,000 public school teachers in the state, there are about 35,000 to 40,000 support employees, Landon said. How to fund raises under the state costsharing structure could be another hurdle. Using one funding level could lead to varying pay raise amounts across school districts. Increasing funding under another level would ensure a $1,000 pay raise to all teachers. But it also would add to the costs for teacher retirement plans, bringing the state’s total bill to $107 million a year. And while teachers like Couturier would appreciate the help, they wish it could be more. “It’s nowhere near what needs to happen with the amount of work and the importance of the work that goes into our careers,” she said.

A slow start cost the Central Lafourche football team a shot in the Second Round of the Class 5A State Playoffs. The Trojans fell to Slidell 35-21 on a cold, wet and windy night on the Northshore. But it was a highly competitive game. The Trojans fell behind 20-0, but then cut the score to 21-14 with a second-half rally. But Slidell made big plays late to secure the victory, ending the Trojans’ season with a 65 record. “We’re proud of the kids,� Central Lafourche coach Keith Menard said. “Early in the game, I think, looking back, and being an armchair quarterback a little bit, I think we were a little too conservative. I think we thought the field conditions were worse than they actually were. I think in the second half, we opened things up and had more success and we should have maybe been that way the entire ballgame. But our kids fought. I couldn’t be
prouder of the way they competed. But it’s always a sad moment when it’s the end, especially knowing you won’t get to see those seniors again.� Friday night’s game was a mud bowl. A cold front swept through Louisiana on Friday morning, which brought hours of rain into the area, even throughout the early stages of the game. That rain muddied the field to a slop, which made cutting difficult throughout the game. But once the front passed, the teams also had to deal with a stiff, consistent 15-20 mph north wind, which made passing the ball difficult. But it didn’t bother Slidell early in the game. The Tigers scored on its first two drives to take a 13-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. The first touchdown came on a run-heavy drive capped by halfback Harlan Dixon. The second was a one-play drive on a slant pass from Jacob Guidry
to Tito Simmons, which went to the house. But the Trojans stiffened from there, holding the Tigers out of the end zone for the entire second quarter. Central Lafourche had chances of their own, but drives stalled in the Tigers’ territory, which sent the game to halftime with the Tigers ahead 13-0. “We had chances, but we just didn’t get points,� Menard said. “We couldn’t finish drives.� In the third quarter, it looked like Slidell was going to put the game away for good. With just less than 5 minutes left in the third quarter, the Tigers got insurance on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Guidry to Dixon. After a 2-point conversion, the Tigers led 21-0. But then, Central Lafourche got going. The Trojans scored their first touchdown late in the third quarter on a 6yard run from Deon Jenkins to cut the score to 21-7.
A few plays later, defensive lineman Charles Steward got into the flats and picked off a pass from Guidry, taking it 58 yards to the house for a pick-six, which trimmed the Tigers’ lead to 21-14 with 11 seconds to go in the third. But the Tigers didn’t buckle. They took the ensuing kickoff deep into the Trojans’ territory, which set up a quick score and a 27-14 lead after a failed extra point. The Trojans fought back though with a nearly 20-play drive, a methodical trek capped on a pass from quarterback Jacob Barker to Jansen Folse to make the score 27-21 with 7 minutes to play. But the Trojans couldn’t get the key stop they needed late in the game to grab control. Slidell found an unguarded Miles Brown with 4 minutes left on a long touchdown pass to go up 35-21 after a 2point conversion. The Trojans tried to score late, but came up empty.
Fourcade helps Nicholls to 47-14 win over Stephen F. Austin
THIBODAUX, La. (AP) — Chase Fourcade threw three touchdown passes in the first half as Nicholls jumped out to an early lead and coasted to a 47-14 win over Stephen F. Austin on Saturday. Nicholls (7-3, 6-2), which has won six of its last seven games, entered the game in a tie atop the Southland Conference with Incarnate Word and McNeese. Fourcade finished the evening with four touchdown tosses and 261 passing yards. He also ran for 67 yards. Fourcade, who had two scoring strikes to Dai’Jean Dixon in the first quarter, tossed one to Gabe Fuselier in the second. He hit Kendall Bussey in stride for a 48-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Lorran Fonseca kicked his second field goal of the evening with 5:03 remaining in the game to conclude the scoring. Jake Blumrick threw for 132 yards and a touchdown with one interception for the Lumberjacks (2-7, 2-6). Nicholls closes out the regular season Thursday, Nov. 15 in the River Bell Classic against rival Southeastern Louisiana. A win would give the Colonels a share of the Southland title, just its second in program history, and their secondstraight trip to the FCS playoffs. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. at John L.

Election From 1-A
and politics, it’s still possible — and it can lead to victories. The amendment drew diverse, broad-based support and financial backing across the political spectrum. Voters overwhelmingly agreed to scrap a split-jury provision dating from the era of racial segregation. — Louisiana voters didn’t oust any congressional members, but the reshuffling of power nationally will impact the state. With control of the U.S. House shifting to Democrats, Louisiana might be at a bit of disadvantage. Of its six House members, five are in the GOP. As the third-ranking Republican in the chamber, U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise of Jefferson Parish had been poised to move even higher, possibly reaching the speaker’s gavel. Now, he’ll remain in leadership, but in the minority party of a chamber not known for bipartisanship. However, U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond of New Orleans, Louisiana’s lone Democrat in the delegation, has positioned himself as a power player as chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus. He’s exiting that position soon, but stands to remain influential and possibly assume another leadership job. — Turnover continues in the Louisiana Legislature, as politicians staring down term limits chase other elected positions and lawmakers tired after 10 legislative sessions over three years look for different places to land. Six state House members won elections to other offices Tuesday. — Widespread support for a ballot measure to allow Louisiana residents to play online fantasy sports for cash prizes likely shows that people in the state don’t view sports gaming the way they see video poker and casinos. Voters in 47 of 64 parishes agreed to legalize the online fantasy sports competitions.

— On a minor issue, the secretary of state’s office clearly received its own message from voters: stickers matter. The office was targeted for complaints when voters showed up to polling sites and found in some instances they weren’t leaving with an “I Voted” sticker to post in selfies to social media accounts. Never mind that the secretary of state’s office hasn’t regularly provided those stickers year after year, the agency drew the ire of people anyway. ___
in person at the aforementioned LPSO offices. Each partial payment must be at least 25% of the total amount of property tax due, and the first partial payment must be made prior to December 31, 2018. The remaining unpaid amount is still subject to the 1% monthly penalty per state law. All unpaid taxes will accrue additional costs associated with the tax sale. If the property is sold at the tax sale, the property owner is subject to loss of the homestead exemption. Property sold at the tax sale may be redeemed up to three years from the date the property is sold, but per state law, a 5% penalty will apply as well as a monthly interest rate of 1%. The owner must contact the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office to redeem the property. Any unpaid taxes on movable/inventory property may cause the property in questions to be seized and sold at auction or a writ may be sought to levy the property owner’s bank account for the amount of taxes owed. The current property owner is responsible for all taxes due. Anyone who purchased property in 2018 may not receive a tax bill due to it being sent to the previous owner. Homeowners with mortgages should check with their mortgage company before making a payment as those companies generally collect escrow and pay property taxes on behalf of the property owner. Please check whether your mortgage company will make your tax payment before you make a separate payment directly to the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office. Questions regarding property ownership and assessment should be directed to the Lafourche Parish Assessor’s Office at (985) 447-7242. For more information about tax payments, property owners can contact the Sheriff’s Office at (985) 449-4431.
