The mission of the Section 504 Department is to ensure students with disabilities under the American with Disabilities Act have equal access to educational opportunities, identify students with characteristics of Dyslexia, and advocate for non-discrimination practices. The Department monitors the compliance of 504 plans and supports school level 504 coordinators, school staff, students, and parents with 504 development, implementation, dyslexia screenings, and discipline policies.
The Office of Child Welfare & Attendance with the East Baton Rouge Parish School System serves as an advocate for the children to ensure the success of students in school. To accomplish this, the Office of Child Welfare & Attendance will work closely with students, their parent/guardians and the school to facilitate enrollment and consistent attendance in the proper school setting.
The Office of Child Welfare & Attendance will conduct home visits to verify addresses of students so that they are enrolled in the proper school attendance zone. Parental contact will also be made when children have difficult in school and students fail to meet attendance requirements. Community agencies will be contacted as needed to provide families with the necessary resources and adjustments to overcome obstacles that prevent proper school attendance.
The Office of Child Welfare & Attendance is also committed to working closely with the Truancy Assessment and Service Center as well as Juvenile Services to take parents to Truancy Court if needed to encourage regular school attendance. Regular school attendance ensures the child will have the greatest opportunity for success.
The Department of Health Services facilitates partnerships with local health care providers to support student health care and prevention throughout the district. Our department also works closely with internal and external health and behavioral health care providers to promote a healthy learning environment.
Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Health Centers in Schools provides comprehensive health services and wellness education to students at seven full-service clinics. The clinics are staffed with qualified and dedicated registered nurses, social workers, health educators, and other medical professionals.

The I CARE Program is the alcohol, drug abuse, and violence prevention program for East Baton Rouge Parish School System. It provides prevention education to students in public, parochial, and participating private and charter schools in the areas of alcohol, tobacco, other drugs, violence, crisis response, and management. I CARE staff include 20 Licensed Prevention Professionals who are career educators with a five year minimum classroom teaching experience and a master’s degree in education. Specific services include individual and group consultation, family consultation, support services, classroom education, staff and parent trainings, prevention campaign support, and a variety of other support services related to social-emotional learning.
The Department of School Counseling supports School Counselors in promoting, facilitating, and implementing a comprehensive school counseling plan through utilizing a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) approach that ensures every student receives School Counseling services universally and targeted and strategic interventions through small group and individual lessons, if needed. The current student/School Counselor ratio is 300:1.
School counselors facilitate and implement classroom lessons and large group presentations that may reflect three areas of the curriculum: Personal/Social Development; Academic Development; and Career Development. Additionally, special presentations, such as the annual College and Career Fair, FAFSA Information Nights, I CARE Campaigns and student-based activities that encourage positive growth and life-skills training are being facilitated and implemented throughout the district by the School Counselors.
Students are individually guided by their school counselors toward academic and career success in a variety of ways. Academic excellence is promoted through individual meetings, classroom lessons, small group activities, and school-wide recognition. Working individually with school counselors, students establish short and long-term educational and career goals. Career exploration is done at every level through the use of classroom lessons, speakers, career fairs, career inventories, technology, etc. In the high schools, School Counselors partner with agencies such as LOSFA to assist students and families both individually and in larger groups to disseminate important post-secondary information about such topics as financial aid, testing, majors and admissions procedures/policies.
A major portion of the School Counselor’s day is spent on Responsive Services. School counselors provide both individual and group counseling, however School Counselors do not provide therapy. Most individual work involves dealing with short-term issues. Group counseling topics depend upon the needs of the school and students. Many of the group sessions are formatted into lessons utilizing the ReThink Ed Platform as a resource tool. School Counselors also work with families by providing an external resource list to families regarding contact information for agencies/therapists. This list is a resource list only as School Counselors do not make referrals to outside agencies or therapists. Counselors work extensively with other school and district personnel in consultation regarding the personal, social/emotional, and academic well-being of students.
School Counselors and the School Counseling Department staff are members of a large team – that of the school and the district. They engage in a number of activities to promote the excellence of the EBRPSS School District. Because of the individual and personal nature of the work, it is critical for the District Counseling Staff and School Counselors to remain abreast of current and relevant topics and techniques related to student success. Thus, they continuously engage in continuing education experiences to gain such expertise and knowledge. In addition, what is learned is shared with their colleagues, faculty and staff.
Multi-Tiered Systems of Support is a systematic, integrated and multilayer approach used to deliver instruction, assess student progress and provide needed supports and interventions.
