Allen Parish School Board

What Allen Parish School Board does

Allen Parish School Board is a public K-12 school district headquartered in Oberlin, Louisiana, operating under the supervision of the Louisiana Department of Education. The district serves approximately 3,700 students across 11 schools (Elizabeth High, Fairview High, Kinder Elementary, Kinder High, Kinder Middle, Oakdale Elementary, Oakdale High School, Oakdale Middle, Oberlin Elementary, Oberlin High, and Reeves High) spread across six municipalities in rural southwest Louisiana. It is governed by an elected school board and led by Superintendent Brad Soileau, and provides general K-12 instruction alongside Career Technical Education (CTE) with industry-based credentials, special education services, Title I programming, early childhood programs (birth to age 5), child nutrition, and transportation.

The district's technology platform consists of standard educational SaaS integrations rather than proprietary systems. EdGear/JCampus serves as the Student Information System supporting online registration, the Student Progress Center, and attendance zone management; ParentSquare provides parent communication with single sign-on via Google and Microsoft 365; Samsara enables GPS-based school bus tracking with a parent-facing 'Find My Child's Bus' feature; AppliTrack handles employment applications; MySchoolBucks processes cafeteria prepayments; and HelloSign manages electronic consent forms. The Oakdale School-Based Health Center, a 2,100 square foot on-campus clinic operated by Access Health Louisiana, extends the district's service footprint to include medical, behavioral health, and telehealth services.

Funding is derived entirely from public sources — Louisiana Minimum Foundation Program allocations, local property taxes, and federal Title I, Title IX, IDEA, and child nutrition grants — with no tuition charged. The district publishes annual operating budgets, salary schedules, and fiscal audit reports on its website, and maintains compliance with WCAG 2.0–2.1 A/AA, Title IX, Title VI, Section 504, and ADA Title II. Partnerships with the Louisiana Board of Regents and Louisiana post-secondary institutions support dual enrollment and college-credit pathways, while Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) underwrites cafeteria meal access.
