School Board considers changing election schedule, honors Hall of Fame inductee

CENTERVILLE — The St. Mary Parish School Board is considering whether to extend the members’ next term by a year in hopes of drawing a more robust voter turnout.
Also at Thursday’s School Board meeting, the board recognized one of its principals for her induction into the Louisiana High School Sports Hall of Fame.
New terms
The Louisiana Legislature passed Act 354 in 2025. The act allows school boards to time their elections to coincide with voting for governor. Currently, those elections coincide with every other congressional election.
The current School Board term expires in January.
If the School Board moves to change its election dates, the next term would last five years instead of four. Members would stand for election this fall, and the winners would serve from January 2027 to January 2032.
Elections for the term beginning in 2032 would be in fall 2031, when Louisiana voters will choose their governor. After 2031, School Board members would go back to serving four-year terms.
The board has until July 1, 2026, to make its decision, giving members one more regular meeting, on June 11, before the deadline. The board took no action on the proposal Thursday.
In the elections for the current School Board term in 2022, turnout in each of 11 districts ranged from 35% to 55%.
In the October 2023 gubernatorial election, when current Gov. Jeff Landry won an easy victory in a multicandidate primary, St. Mary’s turnout was 35.9%.
Hall of Fame
The board paid tribute to B. Edward Boudreaux Principal Alexis Rack, who was recently named to the Louisiana High School Sports Hall of Fame.
Rack led the Franklin Senior High team to state championships in 2004 and 2005. In her senior year, she averaged 25 points and 10 assists per game. Rack was named Miss Basketball Louisiana.
At Mississippi State, Rack was a two-time SEC first-team member who still holds school records for 3-point buckets (340), 3-point attempts (1.057) and 3-point percentage (32.2%).
Rack was introduced at Thursday’s meeting by her former coach, Ronnie Lewis.
The audience was packed with women wearing the red jackets of Rack’s Delta Sigma Theta sorority. Among them was her mother, former School Board member Pearl Barnes Rack.
Alexis Rack looked back fondly on the support for Franklin’s state championship.
“What I remember most is the way St. Mary Parish pulled together,” Rack said. “Every time I think about it, it makes my heart so full.”
Taxes
Also Thursday, the board passed a resolution setting its property tax rates for 2026. They are unchanged.
Two millages, 8.83 mills and 11.82 mills, support the district’s general fund.
Three more millages raise money for the three maintenance districts: 12.42 mills for District 1 in the western part of the parish; 12.73 mills for District 2 in the central parish, and 12.53 mills in District 3 in Eastern St. Mary.
Three millages support bond retirement funds: 6 mills from Consolidated School District No. 1 for Raintree Elementary; 2 mills for Special School District No. 4 in Centerville; and 21 mills for the Fifth Ward Special School District No. 1, Patterson Junior High and Hattie Watts Elementary.

Hundreds of members of the public stood in the hallway filling out opposition and support cards for the Friday Senate hearing.

Senate panel will redraw House maps

Tue, 05/12/2026 - 9:23am

VERONICA CAMENZULI, GRACIE THOMAS and AVERY WHITE LSU Manship School News Service

BATON ROUGE — After a tumultuous day-long hearing Friday, lawmakers will try to break through the tension this week and propose new maps for Louisiana’s six congressional districts.
A Senate panel is expected to resume debate this week, and what it decides could largely carry through both chambers as the Legislature scrambles to draw new maps before the session ends June 1.
The U.S. Supreme Court recently declared that Louisiana’s current mix, with four Republican districts and two Black-majority ones, was unconstitutional. The ruling struck down key parts of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, with six of the nine justices saying racial factors could no longer play a significant role in drawing the maps.
Noting that one-third of the state’s residents are Black, minority leaders testified in favor of keeping the two majority-Black districts, while dozens of their supporters in the hallways shouted “shut it down” as the Senate and Governmental Affairs committee also considered maps with 5-1 and 6-0 Republican advantages.
“Today, here in Louisiana we’re being tested, and the whole world is watching,” said U.S. Rep Troy Carter, a Democrat from New Orleans. “The question before us is not merely about lines on a map. The question before us is whether we will honor the principle that every citizen deserves equal protection of the law.”
Several proponents of the maps creating more districts dominated by Republicans spoke late Friday, and more Republicans are expected to testify.
The chairman of the committee, Sen. Caleb Kleinpeter, R-Port Allen, has said it plans to vote this week on maps to send to the full Senate.
While national Republican leaders are pushing to pick up as many seats as possible to try to hold onto control of the U.S. House, some Louisiana Republicans caution that pushing for a 6-0 map could leave their party with only small advantages in the number of voters in two of the districts, leaving them vulnerable to possible upsets by Democrats.
If that thinking prevails, the Legislature could go with a 5-1 map.
Kleinpeter had to call two recesses during Friday’s hearing to ease rising tensions.
U.S Rep. Carter, U.S. Rep. Cleo Fields, D-Baton Rouge and former U.S. Representatives Cedric Richmond, and William Jefferson are the only African American people elected to Congress from Louisiana since the Reconstruction Era.
They testified together in support of a map by Sen. Edward Price, D-Gonzales that would keep a two majority-minority district configuration.
Kleinpeter called the first brief recess shortly after the meeting started when Sen. Gary Carter, D-New Orleans, asked how many Louisiana residents had already voted before Republican Gov. Jeff Landry recently suspended the U.S. House primaries.
Kleinpeter called the second recess after a confrontation between Sen. Carter and Sen. Jay Morris, R-West Monroe.
Morris, who was presenting his bill for a 6-0 map with all Republican districts and two 5-1 bills with one majority-minority district in each, said in his closing statement he was offended that committee members implied he was racist in their line of questioning.
Sen. Carter clarified that he was not suggesting that Morris was racist but that his legislation this session was. Morris also has pushed bills to consolidate the court clerks’ office in New Orleans and cut the number of criminal court judges there, both of which would reduce the number of Black officeholders.
“Let’s look at the totality of your work,” Carter told Morris. “Your work has eliminated the elected seat of an African American in the city of New Orleans. Your work has eliminated the political power of numerous elected officials in the city of New Orleans.”
Tensions came to a head after Kleinpeter called for a recess, turning off Sen. Carter’s mic who requested it be turned back on saying he didn’t “want a recess.”
The altercation continued after Morris told audience members sitting behind him, “you all need to shut up,” as he was leaving. A brief verbal disagreement followed.
Morris confirmed in a press release that he said this, saying people sitting behind him were talking loudly during his testimony, which made it difficult for him to answer questions.
After the recess was called and Carter’s mic was cut, onlookers from the hallway attempted to barge into the meeting, and chants erupted in the hallway saying, “Let him speak, let him speak.”
After order was restored in the committee and the meeting resumed, testimonies began with dozens of people speaking in support and opposition of the maps. Some testimony prompted people listening in the overflow rooms to cheer and bang on the adjoining walls in support.
“Louisiana has to wake up,” Bishop Paul S. Morton of the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship International testified.
“There’s too much racism in this state. And we’re tired of it. Once people have experienced freedom like we have, I’m here to tell you today, we ain’t going back,”
Kylah Babin and Sheridan White contributed to reporting.

Sen. says he received death threats after controversial remarks

Tue, 05/12/2026 - 9:21am

VERONICA CAMENZULI, LSU Manship School News Service

BATON ROUGE -- Republican Sen. Jay Morris of West Monroe said Monday he and his staff received death threats following a contentious committee hearing Friday on redrawing the state’s six U.S. House districts, and he called on the state’s Democratic Party leadership to recant a statement that he had used a racial slur during the dustup.
Republicans also announced plans to move up the clock on hearings to redraw the state’s congressional maps. The Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee were to resume hearings Tuesday evening.
Morris, who authored several bills that would redraw Louisiana’s congressional maps in the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that race could not be used as a deciding factor, said his office received 150 voicemails over the weekend, and several that were “vile and outrageous.”
“One of those voicemails called for a mass shooting at my office,” Morris told his colleagues in a four-minute address on the Senate floor. “Now, 99.999% of the people in the world would never take any action, but there are a few. … I'd readily quit this job than have one hair hurt on any member of my family.”
The Louisiana Democratic Party released a statement on Friday that Morris, who was testifying on one of the redistricting bills, turned toward Democratic Party executive director Dadrius Lanus, who was seated nearby, and said, "Shut up, boy!” Lanus is Black.
Morris acknowledged he did say “you all need to shut up,” but he said those words were directed at people he said were making disruptive comments. He denied using the word “boy.”
The incident occurred as Morris was leaving the hearing room just after Sen. Caleb Kleinpeter, R-Port Allen, chairman of the Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee, called a recess following a verbal exchange between Morris and Sen. Gary Carter, D-New Orleans.
Morris said several videos taken by news media of the incident prove he had not used racially charged language as he left the hearing room. KPLC 7 News, which was filming the committee meeting, posted the altercation to its social media pages.
“The falsehoods attributed to me have been very hurtful to me, my family,” Morris said. “The Democratic Party put out a statement that is provably false, that I said some things that I did not say. If I said those things, I would get down on my knees right now and beg for your forgiveness, but I did not say them.”
Carter, who is Black, used a two-minute “personal privilege” address Monday to apologize to his Senate colleagues for losing his temper when discussing Morris’ proposed legislation Friday.
“To the extent, Sen. Morris and Mr. Chairman, that my attacks, my questions, seemed like personal, ‘ad hominem’ attacks on you, I apologize,” Carter said. “I did not intend that at all as part of me losing my temper during the course of the hearing. But these are some very important matters.”
Carter clarified that he was not suggesting that Morris was racist but that his legislation this session would effectively reduce the number of Black officeholders.
Morris has filed bills to consolidate the court clerks’ office in New Orleans and cut the number of criminal and civil court judges in the parish.
The Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee originally had planned to resume hearings on the redistricting plan on Wednesday, but that timetable has been accelerated. The committee is expected to meet Tuesday afternoon after the full Senate adjourns.
While the current congressional map has four Republican and two Democratic seats, Gov. Jeff Landry told nola.com in a brief interview on Monday that the most likely split will be 5-1.
