Featured Frequently Asked Question: Doesn't the district offer universal PreK? Can’t everyone attend PreK?
DeSoto Parish Schools are proud to offer Universal PreK, but sadly due to space constraints in District 2, while anyone can apply to be on the waiting list for PreK, we can no longer guarantee admission into PreK and are operating with a waitlist. A three-year-old option was available during the 2023-24 school year, but because of increased demand for four-year-old PreK and Kindergarten classrooms, the program has been eliminated for the 2024-25 school year. The bond plan includes expansions at the lower elementary to be able to offer additional sections of preschool and eliminate the waitlist.

Featured Frequently Asked Question: How is the April 2024 bond proposal different from the November 2023 plan that was rejected by voters?
The April 2024 bond plan is $47.5 million less than the November 2023 plan. The November 2023 proposal was for a total of $130 million and included a new high school( for 1200 students), improvements to the lower elementary school, and athletic spaces. The April 2024 proposal is significantly reduced in costs at $85.2 million.
Many items that were in the 2023 bond plan have been eliminated in the new proposal to better align with the community’s desire to focus on academics.

Featured Frequently Asked Question: If the bond proposes a millage increase of 22, wouldn’t the total millage be 25.6?
No. The current millage of 3.6 expires in December 2024. If approved, the $85.2 million bond will assess a total millage of 22, not an increase of 22. You can use the online tax calculator to calculate your impact and submit any questions to questions@desotopsb.com

Reminders for Week of 3-25-24
Coach Prather’s Cyber Society class has been hard at work this week. Students used various cardboard, plastic, and decorative items to create, build, and present robots. Each robot has to serve a special purpose and possess a tool that would be beneficial to society. Students created robots that can teach people to play instruments, clean up the ocean, give first-aid, help the disabled, and make make your dinner. Groups were scored by popularity votes, a teacher presentation score, and a guest judge ranking!
