Natchitoches Parents and Community,
As many of you have become aware, new Title IX regulations have been adopted by the federal government. These regulations have the potential to have far reaching impacts in our schools.
The Board shares the concerns of the community and is taking immediate legal action, along with other districts in the state, to prevent the implementation of these new regulations in Natchitoches Parish Schools. President Benefield will convene a special called meeting on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, at 5pm in the NPSB Title I Media Center to express the board’s opposition to the proposed changes and to join the State of Louisiana and other Louisiana school districts in a federal lawsuit.
To read the full statement from the Board and to view Dr. Brumley's letter to school system leaders, please visit https://www.npsb.la/article/1573127/.
