In 2023, public schools identified over 1.5 million children experiencing homelessness, a number that grew 28% in three years. Because of the power of public schools and legislation like the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act of 1987, barriers are being removed, lives are being transformed, and homeless children are reaching their full potential. This episode of Teach Reach Inspire features McKinney-Vento programs in Bossier and Caddo Parish and discusses how they serve as a vital partner in teaching children, reaching families, and inspiring communities.Arcenia Anthony, Homeless & Foster Care Liaison for Bossier Parish SchoolsLisa Mason-Hollins, Supervisor of McKinney-Vento for Caddo Parish Schools.Kimberly Capers, Homeless Liaison for Caddo Parish Schools

In football, we often hear about the performance of the offense and the defense, but there is another unit of players that spends less than 20% of the game on the field, but scores roughly 35% of the team’s total points. The special teams unit made up of kickers, punts, returners, and defenders is often forgotten, but can have an enormous impact on the game itself. The Special Education Department is the school system’s special teams unit that places students in a better academic, emotional, and behavior field position in order to achieve overall success. Join Dr. Tracey Burrell along with Dr. Cassandra Williams, Assistant Professor of Special Education, LSU Shreveport, Shawne Marsala, Supervisor of Pupil Appraisal, Bossier Schools, and Ross Boyett, Assistant Principal, Waskom Middle School Wednesday, August 23, 2023 at 6 PM for Teach, Reach, Inspire.

But ask any school principal, and they will tell you that they would not have a strong leadership team without their APs or more formally, their Assistant Principals.

A 2022 survey conducted by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at The University of Chicago concluded that only 18% of Americans would encourage a young person to become a K-12 teacher. Even more alarming is that more than half of teachers would discourage their own children from entering the teaching profession.You will hear a story of how one educator is crushing these statistics by cultivating the next generation of teachers right in her own home.
