About the EBR Parish Tax Plan

In 1998 the voters of EBR Parish approved the five-year collection of a one-cent sales tax dedicated to improving public education. The tax generated nearly $300 million which the school system used to fund a facilities improvement plan including the construction of four new schools, classroom additions at another 22, and improvements and repairs to every school campus. The tax also funded the purchase and implementation of computer technology at every school, alternative learning spaces and discipline centers at the elementary, middle and high school levels for system-wide discipline programs, and pay supplements for teachers and all system employees.
