Candidate announcement: Roland H. Verret, St. Mary Parish School Board

I am Roland Herman Verret your District 11 School Board member. With your assistance I am seeking re-election to the St. Mary Parish School Board. Job experience with the Board is not a question in that I have to be concerned about. There are only two Board Members serving with the years of service I have and both have no opposition in this election.
Prior to being elected to the Board I taught the middle grades in Amelia and Morgan City. Next I was promoted to the Central Office working in such positions as a supervisor of instruction, supervisor of Adult Education, Junior and Senior High English, Social Studies supervisor, Supervisor of bus service for students and other areas before becoming Supervisor of Personnel.
After 31 years of service I chose to retire and seek a position as a school board member. Before becoming an elected school board member, I completed my formal university training having earned a Masters +45 education credential. The first training was a B. S. degree in Business Administration. Next taking the many courses where I became certified to teach English and Social Studies and then the massive number of courses making me eligible to supervise those who taught English and Social Studies. More college hours led to my being eligible to supervise Adult Education, supervisory work at various areas of Junior and Senior High studies. At the school board level I do not think there is anyone exceeding my formal training. Presently there is a genuine need to have people in Board Positions who are experienced in dealing with today’s crazy mixed-up world. With several board members retiring, it is allowing new faces to join the education battles. We must be careful in our decision making. Putting too many rookies in such a serious position will lead to massive problems especially in today’s world. Please be careful and give serious thought before filling spots with people who actually know very little to almost nothing about the position they are seeking.
This is Roland H Verret on the election ballot. Please allow me this final term as the District 11 School Board member serving Amelia, Wyandotte, Walsh, and the southern side of railroad track up to the Atchafalaya River. More specific things will be forthcoming.
