SAFE SCHOOLS
For Students & Staff
A school can't teach if it isn't safe. When a building isn't secure, it's a distraction for students, teachers, and staff alike. Safety — real physical security, and a climate of respect where teachers are supported and backed up — is the foundation everything else is built on. Safety is the foundation that allows everything else in our schools to work.

FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
Transparency Above All Else
Safe schools need adequate funding. I believe in full transparency and accounting when it comes to taxpayer money, with no ambiguity on how it's collected or spent. Also, I'll push to put the numbers out plainly and explain them, so any taxpayer can see exactly where their money goes and the difference it makes.

COMPETITIVE PAY
For Teachers & Staff
Safe, well-funded schools must continuously strive for excellence, and it's the individuals involved who make that happen. To attract and retain qualified and dedicated professionals, including paraprofessionals, bus drivers, custodians, cafeteria staff, and more, we must provide competitive salaries that recognize their expertise, commitment, and service.

Veteran Leadership for Stronger Schools
Ben Banchs has called St. Tammany home since 2005. He is a 27-year veteran of the Louisiana Air National Guard who worked on F-15 fighter jets, responded to the call of duty after 9/11, and was on the front lines of nearly every hurricane from Katrina forward. A proud graduate of Louisiana public education, Ben and his wife of 30-plus years, Rhonda, raised three daughters who came up through St. Tammany Parish schools, from Abita Elementary to Fontainebleau High. He's spent his life in service to others — as Business Manager of Laborers' Local 1776, as a youth softball coach at the Abita ballpark, and as an American Legion leader whose Post provided more than $20,000 in scholarships and Boys and Girls State sponsorships for local students last year. Now he's ready to bring that same service to the St. Tammany Parish School Board.
