The DeSoto Parish School Board has recently done feature sections on their website about each board member highlighting their favorite school memory, favorite part of serving as a board member, what makes DeSoto Parish schools the best, and what is the one thing you would go back to school to learn. This week’s feature is on Coday Johnston who represents District 6. In 2014, Johnston made history as the youngest School Board President elected within DeSoto Parish as well as Louisiana.

Favorite School Memory: It would have to be winning a state championship my senior year in baseball at Stanley High. It is a connection that I still have to this day with my baseball brothers, and we try to get together every chance we get.

On December 23, 2019, Louisiana’s State Industrial Hemp Plan was approved by the USDA. A few days later on December 29, 2019, the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry’s Industrial Program began accepting applications for seed and plant production, transportation and permission to process industrial hemp in Louisiana. Two local applicants received their licenses on February 21, 2020. Business partners John Cash and Chris Ancher were officially granted Louisiana License 22-1100021 and 22-1100023 to grow low tetrahydrocannobinal (THC) Industrial Hemp crops under the name Bon Temps Growers. Legally, under the eyes and rules of the law, they are permitted to perform seed production, crop cultivation, and to process and transport their products.

With Louisiana schools shuttered for the next few weeks in an effort to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus, many children may find themselves at home alone.

“Parents should decide if their children are mature enough and are able to take on this responsibility,” said Renee Castro, 4-H coordinator for the LSU AgCenter Southeast Region. “If this is the only option, each family should have a ‘home alone plan’ in place to ensure the safety of their children.”

Taking time to make a plan that kids can follow when they’re home without adult supervision can help keep them safe and put parents’ minds at ease.
