Claiborne Parish Schools

What Claiborne Parish Schools does

Claiborne Parish Police Jury is the parish-level legislative and administrative governing body of Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, established when the parish was created from Natchitoches Parish by Act No. 42 of the Louisiana General Assembly on March 13, 1828. It serves approximately 15,000+ residents distributed across 10 voting/police jury districts and the incorporated communities of Homer, Haynesville, Athens, Junction City, and Lisbon. The organization coordinates and delivers essential local government services including parish road maintenance, solid waste collection in rural areas, emergency preparedness, public safety coordination, property tax assessment, voter registration, veterans affairs, library operations, and community assistance programs (including Section 8 housing and LiHEAP).

Operationally, the Police Jury is not a technology or product company — it operates multiple functional departments: Clerk of Court, Office of Community Services, District Attorney, District Judge, Office of Emergency Preparedness, six fire districts (Evergreen, Haynesville, Homer, Athens, Summerfield, Junction City), Health Unit, Highway Department, LSU Ag Center extension, Public Libraries (Homer main branch and Haynesville branch), Sheriff's Office, Tax Assessor, Veterans Affairs, and Voter Registrar. The technology stack is limited to a public information website (www.claiborneparish.org), GIS/mapping (via ActDataScout), an official journal for legal notices (Guardian Journal), and standard phone/fax communications — no proprietary software, APIs, or AI systems are disclosed.

Revenue is generated entirely through public funding mechanisms, primarily a 1% sales tax in rural areas (estimated $630,000–$1,084,600 annually depending on proposition), a separate Sales Tax District No. 2 generating an estimated $419,000 annually, and annual ad valorem property tax millages. The organization is governed by 10 elected district jurors led by a President and Vice-President, with a Secretary-Treasurer, Road Superintendents, and an Administrative Assistant managing daily operations. It conducts regular monthly public meetings with documented agendas and minutes (2014–2026), maintains audited financial statements (2011–2024), and operates from its headquarters at 507 West Main Street, Homer, Louisiana.
