Now that the chalk dust has settled, the children are in their assigned seats and the true work of educating our young people is getting underway, I wanted to take a moment to welcome all our staff, faculty, administrators, students and parents back to school.

 

Our district is filled with a vast supply of talented teaching professionals. If any other school district in the country had the kinds of academic performance growth you've had over the last few years, people would be singing your praises. So the first thing I have to say is thank you to all our teachers and administrators for all you have done.


  
  
 
  
The East Baton Rouge Parish School System (EBRPSS) officially began the 2012-2013 school year Wednesday morning, August 8, as students and teachers hit the hallowed halls of all the public schools in the parish to start a new year of learning. More than 42,400 students were enrolled on the first day of school.

 

School Superintendent Bernard Taylor, Jr., who began his tenure in July, experienced his first opening day in the district and declared it a success.
