What Caldwell Parish School Board does

Caldwell Parish School Board is a Louisiana public school district entity that operates seven schools serving more than 1,600 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade in Caldwell Parish. The district is governed by an elected board with one representative from each of the parish's seven wards, and it operates under Louisiana Department of Education oversight and funding. The district is headquartered at 7112 Highway 165 in Columbia, Louisiana, and board meetings are held publicly on the second Thursday of each month.

The district's technology footprint centers on the Edlio-hosted school website and the JCampus Student Progress Center, which provides parents and students web and mobile access to grades and academic progress. A dedicated JCampus mobile app was launched in August 2024 on Google Play and the Apple App Store. The district supplements its core stack with Clever single sign-on, Renaissance Accelerated Reader (at Union Central Elementary), and links to CK12 and Common Lit, and operates a Virtual Parent Academy for parent-facing workshops. The district participates in the federal Community Eligibility Provision, providing free meals to all enrolled students, and connects families with the FCC Emergency Broadband Benefit for home internet access.

Caldwell Parish School Board is funded primarily through Louisiana state education funding allocated by student enrollment and attendance, federal Title I and Title II programs, and local sales tax revenue through the EFID Initiative/Sales Tax Proposal. No tuition is charged; minimal student fees apply with hardship waivers available. Operational leadership includes Superintendent Nicki McCann, Director of Human Resources Angela Gullatt, Director of Child Nutrition Sandra Russell, Director of Transportation and Maintenance James Wells, and school-level principals including Courtney Watts at Caldwell Parish Junior High. The district has achieved a 'B' district rating from the Louisiana Department of Education.
