There's no place like home, and that's what Louisiana is to me and my family. I am a proud graduate of Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, where I also served as vice president of University Affairs for more than three years. I enjoyed my share of Louisiana football games and great food while there and while in Shreveport, where I worked for a little over 26 years in the Caddo Public Schools District -- first as a teacher, then as a principal and later as chief operating officer. I've been away for a few years as superintendent of Montgomery Public Schools in Alabama, and I really enjoyed my time there. But my family and I are happy t o be back in Louisiana.

In 1998 the voters of EBR Parish approved the five-year collection of a one-cent sales tax dedicated to improving public education. The tax generated nearly $300 million which the school system used to fund a facilities improvement plan including the construction of four new schools, classroom additions at another 22, and improvements and repairs to every school campus. The tax also funded the purchase and implementation of computer technology at every school, alternative learning spaces and discipline centers at the elementary, middle and high school levels for system-wide discipline programs, and pay supplements for teachers and all system employees.
In 2003, the voters renewed the collection of the sales tax for another five years. With the nearly $300 million collected from the renewal, the district was able to build eight new schools, renovate four more and make repairs to an additional 40. Funding was maintained for the discipline programs and employee pay supplements.
In 2007, the voters renewed two property millages for another 10 years. This will generate more than $26 million, which the district will use toward maintaining and improving salaries for all public school employees and operating the School System.
In 2008, the voters of EBR parish once again approved the one-cent sales tax. However, the collection was extended from the original five-year collection period to ten-year. The passage of this renewal is expected to generate close to $488 million.
