Superintendent Dr. Troy Bell has announced the formation of three new Superintendent Advisory Councils designed to enhance communication, collaboration, and shared leadership across the Winn Parish School District. The councils–representing teachers, students, and parents–will serve as vital channels for feedback and engagement, ensuring that every voice within the school community is heard.

“In Winn Parish Schools, every voice matters,” said Bell. “These advisory councils will allow us to listen, learn, and lead together as we continue to move our district forward. Each group will bring unique insight and perspective to help shape decisions that impact teaching, learning, and community trust.”

The Teacher Advisory Council will be the first to convene, providing teachers from every school an opportunity to share classroom experiences, discuss district initiatives, and collaborate on strategies to strengthen instruction and school culture. The Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council and Parent Advisory Council will follow in the coming months, creating ongoing dialogue between district leadership, families, and students. Student Advisory Council will include students in grades 6–12 from each middle and high school in Winn Parish.

Each council will meet regularly throughout the school year. Membership will rotate to include broad representation from all schools, ensuring that ideas and concerns from across the parish are shared and addressed.

“The goal is simple,” added Dr. Bell. “When teachers, students, and parents work together, our schools grow stronger — and we all win in Winn, together.”
