Baton Rouge School Board Rematch Pits Stay-the-Course Steward Against Reformer Jackson

University View Academy — Reported Jackson Civics Teaching Location. Four years after falling short against Shashonnie Steward, veteran educator Tebbe Jackson is back on the ballot for the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board's District 4 seat — but this time there's no runoff to catch a late surge. Steward, the board's current president, is running on what she calls a stay-the-course platform built around rising test scores, a new employee pay raise and a $42 million bond for high school improvements. Jackson, a civics teacher at University View Academy, says Steward's agenda looks less like her own vision and more like an extension of outgoing superintendent Lamont Cole's.

Catholic High's Kyan Batiste can score in many ways for Panthers

It's not a wise move to kick the football to Catholic New Iberia sophomore Kyan Batiste. West St. Mary found that out the hard way in last Friday's 52-12 loss to the Panthers, when Batiste scooped up the ball and ran farther laterally — going from sideline to sideline and back again — than north to south on an unbelievable touchdown return.
