Baton Rouge Alliance for Students

When the difficult decision is made to close a school, the question becomes what happens to the building so that it doesn’t become a blight on the community. Cities around the country have faced this same dilemma and turned empty buildings into innovative community assets. https://lnkd.in/gZH4U6jg

This week, we’re celebrating 4 years of impact, growth, and community—but don’t just take it from us! ??

Here’s to the next chapter! ?? #4YearsStrong #CommunityDriven

This month, we’re celebrating 4 years of impact and community involvement! ?? Since day one, we've been committed to ensuring every student in Baton Rouge receives the excellent education they deserve. Through programs like the Baton Rouge Youth Voice Initiative, CHANGEMAKERS, Community Building Grants, Education As A Civil Right, the Red Stick Schools Guide, TORCH, and more, we’ve spent the last four years advocating, building connections, and creating spaces for dialogue and action. Whether it’s funding initiatives that uplift students and families or bringing people together to spark change, our community is at the heart of everything we do. Thank you for being part of this journey! ?? Here’s to even more progress ahead! ??

The East Baton Rouge Parish School System is inviting community members, parents, educators, and other stakeholders to participate in a series of meetings led by Superintendent LaMont Cole to discuss the district's facility realignment plans. More info here: https://lnkd.in/g7XfCZEh
