Dear St. Tammany Parish Teachers and School Employees,

It’s the first day of school for the 2021-2022 school year!  We want to first thank you for doing the work that you do.  It takes an army of very special people to ensure that our students have the best education possible while maintaining a safe environment.  Therefore, we want to make sure you know that the hours of time you put into this system do not go unnoticed, and that you are valued and appreciated each and every day.

Dear STPSB Employees:

Today I met with Mr. Pete Jabbia and Mr. Cosse to discuss matters of immediate concern. Our first topic was building reps, who will be a vital part of our union this year as well as moving forward. Given that so many directives are left to individual schools to work out, our building reps will have the job of negotiating with administrators directly in order to service the contract and troubleshoot problems. We are in the process of getting out training materials and will post the list on our website. Each school will also have a union bulletin board that will be updated

The Summer Newsletter

​BACK TO SCHOOL It’s hard to believe that summer is already ending. Many districts had expanded summer school options for students who struggled through the pandemic-year. This left many educators with even less time to recuperate from an especially exhausting year. But as always, the prospect of a new school year brings excitement and opportunity.   LFT staff are preparing to greet new and returning educators at orientations and back to school events all over the state. If you are already a member of the Federation, make sure to check in with your Local representatives at these events so that you can get all the most up-to-date information about your membership and back-to-school goodies. If you aren’t already a member of the Federation, you’re missing out. Make sure to look for us at your orientation to learn more about all that membership has to offer! ​ MORE

Summary of the Session

Legislative Overview:

The legislative session ended on Thursday, June 10th at 6 P.M. after almost nine weeks of fast-paced and often contentious debate. LFT has tracked hundreds of bills throughout the session and sent our members and affiliate leaders regular updates with the most important information.

Now that the session has ended and the dust has settled, here are the main bills that impact teachers, school employees and students. Like at the end of every session, there is cause for both celebration and dread. We end this session knowing there is more that must be done to help teachers, school employees and students, and through our collective power we will continue to work towards those goals. Here’s what you need to know:
