BoardOrleans Parish School Board Business Meeting
The board passed a resolution urging the Governor of Louisiana to reject six Industrial Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Program applications submitted by the Folger Coffee Company. The resolution addresses concerns regarding local input on tax exemptions, conflicts between the Board's established guidelines and the Board of Commerce and Industry's rulings, and the potential negative fiscal impact of $500,000 per year on the school district's ability to serve public school students.
