The future of Jonesboro-Hodge Middle School, its faculty, and its students will be discussed by the Jackson Parish School Board during their regular monthly meeting at 11:00 am on Monday, May 4th. 

The session will be held in the Conference Room of the Jackson Parish School District Central Office located at 315 Pershing Hwy in Jonesboro. 

According to the stated agenda, board members Mary Saulters (President), Rick Barlow (Vice President), Calvin Waggoner, Gerry Mims, Paulette Belton, Wade McBride, and Dennis Clary will consider approving the relocation of students attending Jonesboro Hodge Middle School beginning with the 2026-2027 school year. Under this proposal, 6th-grade students will transition to Jonesboro Hodge Elementary School, while 7th and 8th-grade students will transition to Jonesboro Hodge High School.

In addition, Derrick Perry will be recognized as the PCAL Bus Driver of the Year, and ELA (English Language Arts) Coordinator Emily Smith will provide a DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) update.
