The Baton Rouge Alliance for Students is committed to funding equitable and student-based budgeting that prioritizes directing resources to address the needs of our most vulnerable students.
On Saturday, April 23, 2022, the Red Stick Schools Guide will host Families and Foodtrucks, an event to engage families with the information needed in choosing quality schools for students in East Baton Rouge parish.
The CHANGEMAKERS had the opportunity to tour Parkview Baptist, BASIS Materra, and Woodlawn High School.
The Initiative seeks to identify student perspectives on areas of need in Baton Rouge, elevate student voice in K12 education policy, and develop a pipeline for student engagement at all levels of EBR government systems.
Baton Rouge Alliance for Students announced a collaboration between Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome, Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council (MYAC), and Safe, Hopeful Healthy BR to form the Baton Rouge Youth Voice Initiative.
Lauren-Brianna Fields joins our team as our Communications Director, and Korey Ryder joins the Alliance as our Political Director.
The School Board should take the lead in implementing a system publicly communicating district expenditures similar to one recently proposed by Rep. Rick Edmonds, R-Baton Rouge.
In June, the School Board turned down an opportunity to offer 4,400 students access to new nationally competitive schools in Baton Rouge.
At their most recent meeting, the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board had the opportunity to offer more than 6,000 students access to schools that are outperforming the state and even the nation on many education measures.
It is the board’s responsibility to ensure every Baton Rouge family has the ability to access a high-quality education in the school of their choice
