Caddo Parish School Board Redistricting Process
Overview
The Caddo Parish School Board consists of 12 single-member districts.
Every 10 years after the release of the U.S. Census, cities, parishes, school boards and states redraw the lines for election districts to keep population equal on their respective bodies based on federal and state law.
To establish a fair and impartial process, the Caddo Parish School Board has contracted with Data Center, LLC, a redistricting company with 40 years of experience, to review population information and develop a draft redistricting map for public input as well as School Board consideration and approval.
Redistricting does not affect school attendance zones but does impact single-member districts.

The community voice is essential in the redistricting process. Throughout the development and review process of the maps, public meetings will provide an opportunity for community members to play a role in the process, learn more about the proposed maps, and hear more about the work involved in redistricting.
