New Orleans都会区杰斐逊教区学区选举11月3日投票 学生先办论坛追问校车与教师待遇
位于路易斯安那州奥尔良堂区的新奥尔良市，路易斯安那州杰斐逊教区（属New Orleans都会区）学区委员会选举将于11月3日举行，九个席位中有五个面临竞争。选前，由当地学生组成的「学生行动运动」（Student Action Movement）于10月10日举办了一场学生主导的市政论坛，就教师薪酬、课堂资源与校车服务向学区提问。
该组织主席、帕特里克·F·泰勒科技学院17岁学生维克多·罗梅罗-罗克在论坛上表示，不少教师需要打第二份工，学生也缺少足够的课堂资源。据WDSU电视台今年7月的调查，仅今年3月，杰斐逊教区就记录了1862次校车无法出车的情况，其中西岸（West Bank）728次、东岸（East Bank）1134次，一些学生因此缺课。学区首席运营官帕特里克·詹金斯承认校车服务存在问题，并称学区正在努力改善。
本次选举中，四名候选人在8月7日资格登记截止时因无人挑战而直接当选，其余五个选区共有11名候选人角逐。出席论坛的学区委员会候选人只有第九选区挑战者约翰·坎宁安二世一人，他有20年教学经验；杰斐逊教师联合会主席桑德拉·豪尔也在场，向学生解释了学区经费的来源与使用限制。

Jefferson Parish Students Press School Board Candidates Ahead of Nov. 3 Election
New Orleans is a city in Orleans Parish, Louisiana. Voters in Jefferson Parish, part of the New Orleans metropolitan area, will decide five contested races for the nine-member Jefferson Parish School Board on Nov. 3. Ahead of the election, students with the Student Action Movement held a student-led town hall on Oct. 10, pressing the district on teacher pay, classroom resources and bus service. Victor Romero-Roque, the group's 17-year-old president and a student at Patrick F. Taylor Science & Technology Academy, said many teachers work second jobs and students lack adequate classroom resources. A July investigation by WDSU found Jefferson Parish recorded 1,862 instances of buses being unavailable in March alone, 728 on the West Bank and 1,134 on the East Bank, and some students missed class when buses never arrived. Chief Operations Officer Patrick Jenkins acknowledged the transportation problems and said the district was working to improve service. Four candidates won seats unopposed when qualifying ended Aug. 7, and 11 candidates are running in the five contested races. Ninth District challenger John Cunningham II, a 20-year teaching veteran, was the only candidate to attend the town hall, joined by Jefferson Federation of Teachers President Sandra Hauer.
