I worked as a teacher in the LP for 1 year and it sucked. That whole school system is one big “good ole boys club” and they treat teachers unprofessionally. Referring specifically to the central office and DSHS.

There should be election laws prohibiting people to run for certain local positions if there are certain conflicts of interest and I would say a principle having a spouse on the school board in the same parish is a conflict of interest.

I'm pretty sure it would be an ethics violation if they are subject to the same state ethics laws as gov't elected officials
it would be considered nepotism to have a principal report to a board her husband serves.

It's called nepotism laws, and Louisiana has them...with some exceptions, one of those exceptions being the school systems.
Don't worry, educators in Livingston Parish would never throw their name around or use relatives in higher up positions to gain employment or seek promotions. Never. Ever. The hiring practices in Livingston are fair, honest, and equal for everyone.

These type of things along with the fact school board members get paid.. I know it differs from parish to parish, but probably anywhere between $1k - $1.5k a month, they get good health insurance.. All for attending a meeting once a month (I know they have to deal with problems that take up their time outside of the meetings, but a lot of people in these positions are not in it to do what's best for the school system. If someone is a local business owner. They can run for school board member and if they win, just getting the insurance alone, is like them getting a raise),

Well theres not much anyone can do about it, it's a sealed system designed to keep people who question any of it at bay. School central offices are a fraternity of principals with school board members being all of their good buddies are having a prominent presence in the system.
