The month of January was National School Board Member Recognition Month. As a result, the Jackson Parish School District is recognizing the board members who have worked diligently to provide local students with the best education experience possible. Their leadership and countless hours of service help ensure strong schools and bright futures for every child we serve. Being recognized in this edition of the Jackson Parish Journal is Paulette Belton, who has represented District 5 on the Jackson Parish School Board for the past 2 years.

“During her time on the board, Ms. Belton has brought fresh insight, a student-centered mindset, and a strong voice for the community she serves. Her willingness to learn, engage, and serve has added value to board discussions and district decision-making. We appreciate her commitment to supporting our schools.” – Jackson Parish School District
