Jefferson Parish Voters Approve Half-Cent Sales Tax Renewal

JP Schools Family,

The citizens of Jefferson Parish voted to renew our half-cent sales tax. 

For the second time this school year, our community said “Yes” when asked to continue investing their money in our schools and in you.

For the second time this school year, our community has passed on an opportunity to spend less of their money on taxes because they value what you mean to Jefferson Parish.

This is a remarkable act of gratitude as we head into Teacher Appreciation Week. Thank you to our teachers, administrators, support staff, families, board members, and community partners for your support and student-first leadership. 


Dr. James Gray
