Bond Renewal Approved
Thank you to the voters of St. Tammany Parish for continuing to support public education.
As a result of this election, we have taken a large step to better meet the needs of our students and to secure our future as a school system and community.
We appreciate everyone who voted and helped us get the word out about the importance of this election.
We must provide safe and supportive learning environments to build the future of St. Tammany and secure a successful tomorrow.
On May 3, 2025, St. Tammany voters will be asked to approve bonds to upgrade schools, remove all academic portable classrooms, build a Healthcare and STEM Innovation Center, and make necessary improvements to school security, transportation, and technology across the district, all with no projected increase in the bond millage rate currently being levied.
