Elect Jamie Robinson

Since the school board entered into the contract with HES, we have seen numerous problems, across-the-board. We dealt with this issue at the beginning of the school year and now in the middle of the second semester, we still cannot seem to have the grass cut at certain schools on a consistent basis.

Nevertheless, I made a commitment to serve my community win or lose, and that is exactly what I intend on doing. On the campaign trail, I often said, that I was willing to roll up my sleeves and do the work myself, and that is what I’m committed to doing. Today I teamed up with my dad to cut the grass at Park Elementary School, so our children can continue to enjoy recess and come to a well-manicured school each day.

As I reflect on the last five months of campaigning, I have no regrets. I am grateful for the opportunity to offer myself as a public servant to our children and community. Though my bid to become a member of the school board was unsuccessful, I am proud of the honest campaign I ran and extremely grateful for the love and support extended to me throughout this process.

The fact remains that our school system is in a state of crisis, and this recent election cycle has proven to us there is a war on public education. The question becomes, “what are we going to do about it?”. As for me, I will not be discouraged. I will continue to fight to protect the rights and best interests of all our children throughout our parish. I will continue to show up and speak out against the injustice of misusing and improperly educating our children. I will continue to fight to make transparency and equity a reality in our school system.

Restoring the Village is more than a campaign slogan, but is a mantra for the work that is necessary and I intend for it to be my motivation for the battle that lies ahead. The most important action for us now is to educate ourselves on the issues, politics, and interests that are outside the well-being of our children. Then we must unite and do everything possible to educate others. Finally, we must be a true village and collectively demand better for every child and every employee of our school system.

So let's not place a period, where God has placed a comma. This was not my intended outcome, but it is well. The issues remain and there is a lot of work to do, so let's do it! I look forward to continuing to serve my community and especially our children. Again thanks for everything. The love I have for my community is real and will remain so forever.

With less than a week left before the election, I need your help. More than 1.5 million dollars have been poured into our local school board races by big industries and out-of-state billionaires, who have personal interests that are driven by greed and personal gain. I have not sought or received dollars from these private investors, because I’m not willing to sell out our children. Please consider making a financial contribution today and let's work together to restore our village.
