The Natchitoches Parish School Board held a brief meeting on Jan. 13. Finance Director Lee Waskom said the Tax Commission report shows that the district has sustained a cumulative growth of 16.3% growth, which he’s very happy about. This is a $1.5 million increase over last year’s collections at this time and only a 10% increase was budgeted so Waskom said he’ll most likely be bringing an update before the board at a future date.
