Kendra Webster-Taylor seeks Dist 6 School Board position

Kendra Webster-Taylor has announced that she is running for the LaSalle Parish School Board in District 6. The Jena Times reports that she appears as number 74 on the ballot. The article is largely her own announcement statement to voters, so the claims below come from her and not from independent reporting.

She describes a career built around serving children and families. She says she holds a psychology degree and a master's in social work, has worked as a licensed social worker for more than 15 years, and later trained as a licensed practical nurse. She says her work has included counseling, nursing, three years of teaching high school, and coaching cheer. She currently works in school-based behavioral health. She also lists leadership roles with Louisiana groups focused on school social work, school-based health, and truancy.

Webster-Taylor says she would bring collaboration, communication, accountability, and a willingness to listen to the board. She says she does not claim to have all the answers. She also says students should leave school feeling they have options, whether they choose college, technical training, military service, work, or entrepreneurship. The article does not give an election date or mention other candidates.
