Morehouse Parish School Board

What Morehouse Parish School Board does

Morehouse Parish School Board is a public K-12 school district headquartered in Bastrop, Louisiana, operating five schools within Morehouse Parish: Bastrop High School, Beekman Charter School, Delta Elementary, Morehouse Elementary, and Morehouse Magnet School. The district serves the resident student population of the parish with a mix of traditional, charter, and magnet offerings, including a PreK program and a 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) after-school enrichment partnership. The superintendent is Dr. Jesse Winston, Jr., and the organization employs between 101 and 250 staff across instructional, administrative, and operational functions.

The district operates on a non-revenue, tax-funded model typical of Louisiana public schools. Funding flows from the state's Minimum Foundation Program, federal categorical grants, and locally adopted property tax millages (most recently renewed in 2025). No tuition is charged to resident families, and participation in the Louisiana School Choice program enables out-of-district enrollment in district schools. The operating technology stack is composed of conventional K-12 administrative and instructional tools — WebPams, PowerSchool, EdGear, Microsoft 365, TedK12, and Google Forms — supporting student information management, instruction, and parent communication without any documented AI or machine learning capabilities.

Strategically, the district's recent activity has centered on protecting and incrementally expanding its programmatic footprint rather than pursuing scale growth. The 2025 millage renewal secures the local revenue base, while the PreK launch, magnet school entrance testing, and 21st CCLC partnership broaden the service perimeter within the existing geographic monopoly. As a government entity, the district's competitive position is defined by statutory assignment of resident students, structural funding formulas, and political accountability to parish voters rather than by product-market positioning.
