Strong Schools = Strong Community
On Saturday, December 7, 2024, residents of Jefferson Parish will be asked to vote on a new school millage to fund teacher and staff pay raises in Jefferson Parish Schools. The funds generated will allow JP Schools to recruit and retain more quality teachers and staff for our school system.
The December 7 vote provides for 10 years of critical funding our schools need to thrive.
Strong schools improve the quality of life* for everyone by creating an educated workforce and stronger economy, increasing property values, and contributing to safer neighborhoods. This is a critical vote for the future of Jefferson Parish. Everybody wins when we have the best teachers.
