19th Annual Most Improved Student and 3rd Annual It Pays to Be Kind Celebration
We are the PROMISE!
Thank you to everyone who participated in our day of action.

We are the Promise
The United States Department of Education is the realization of a promise this nation made to boys and girls. That promise is to ensure that every child, regardless of their ability, their wealth, their ethnicity, their gender – would receive a fair chance. Without the programs and policies created by this department, the safeguards, the safety rails, the stop gaps no longer exist. There is no way to measure our nation’s commitment to that promise.
Just imagine for a moment…
A mom sitting at her kitchen table, reviewing her daughter’s Individualized Education Plan. Without federal oversight, the special education funding that had once been a lifeline is gone. The state promised to do its best, but resources are stretched thin. This mom wonders how long it will be before her daughter’s specialized support vanished altogether.
The principal answering call after call from parents desperate for answers. Without federal Title I funds, the programs that had once helped low-income students thrive are crumbling. The tutoring sessions, the after-school programs, the literacy initiatives — they had all been rooted in federal dollars, and now they were disappearing like sand through fingers.
A teacher with a new set of state-approved textbooks that downplays pivotal moments in history and science. Without national standards or oversight, curriculum becomes the political battleground, and the students are the casualties.
Young people watching the news with sinking hearts as they see their hope and dreams move out of reach. The skyrocketing tuition without Pell grants and student loan protection will make higher education a dim reality for those without wealth.
Just as a first responder, we are on the front line of defense. We step up to do our part to protect our students, our schools, our families, and our communities. We stand in the gap for the future, for the opportunities of tomorrow. Together, we can ensure that every child receives the fair chance they deserve. We are the Promise of Public Education.
Red River United Proposed Constitutional Changes
We will discuss and vote on the changes at our full membership meeting
on February 20, 2025.
A Pay Raise for the State Superintendent but Nothing for You
Teachers and school employees have not received a permanent pay raise for the past two years and continue to remain below the Southern Regional Average. In fact, they have received only stipends, and we are being told that even the stipends will NOT be paid next year. Meanwhile, the State Superintendent is getting a $26,000 raise due to the progress made in Louisiana schools.
According to NOLA.com, “During a meeting Friday, the Joint Legislative Budget committee voted unanimously to renew State Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley’s contract and increase his yearly salary to $311,000 — a $26,000 pay raise.”
Citing state’s academic gains, lawmakers approve raise for Louisiana’s education chief
Who do we need to remind that Superintendent Brumley’s progress was actually made by YOU in the schoolhouses?
Why does he deserve more money, especially permanent monies, and you do not?
Why are you expected to continue to do more work for less money?
We truly do believe in paying people for their hard work, but why should he be the only one benefiting from YOUR HARD WORK?
