Introducing Louisiana BESE District 5 Candidate Johnny Fatheree



On May 31, 2015, I wrote a post about Louisiana’s next state board of education (BESE) elections, to be held on October 24, 2015.
Regarding BESE District 5, I wrote the following:
District 5 (Claiborne, Union, Morehouse, West Carroll, East Carroll, Lincoln, Ouachita, Richland, Jackson, Madison, Caldwell, Franklin, Tensas, Grant, Lasalle, Catahoula, Concordia, Rapides, Evangeline)currently has Jay Guillot, an engineer who has contracts with RSD and is often absent from BESE meetings.
Guillot had not filed a campaign finance report related to the October 2015 BESE election. This could mean that he has applied for an extension– or it could mean he is not planning on running.
The District 5 seat is ripe for a representative who genuinely supports Louisiana public education.
That same week in May 2015, Monroe native Johnny Fatheree threw his hat into the BESE District 5 ring.

Fatheree is running for the District 5 BESE seat.
I invited Fatheree to write a post in which he introduces himself to my readers and details his position on pertinent issues in Louisiana education. Below is his response, which he has tailored to special education:
My name is Johnny R. Fatheree, and I am a candidate for the BESE District 5. I am writing this letter to clarify my position on Special Education.
First, let me provide my qualifications to write this post. I have served on the Evergreen Ministries Board, St. Mary’s Parent’s Board, President and Board
