While school districts around the state are feeling the crunch of ris-ing costs and shrinking income, the Zachary Community School Dis-trict has a healthy budget as it faces the 2013-2014 school year and the changes that come with it. Zachary Business Manager Gordon Robert-son attributes the nearly $1 million expected budget surplus for the cur-rent fiscal year to conservative bud-geting and a one-time sales tax spike caused by a more than $300 million expansion at Georgia-Pacific Port Hudson.
Since 2009, the state legisla-ture has failed to fund the 2.75% increase in MFP funding known as the growth factor. The MFP funding freeze, coupled with rising costs and unfunded mandates have seen school districts throughout the state strug-gle to provide adequate resources to address the growing demands of ed-ucating students. In anticipation of this, Zachary Schools officials chose to place several projects on hold and reduce staffing over the past few years to make sure they were able to weather the financial storm.
Many parents have seen the headlines in area news outlets and wondered what that means for their students. Superintendent Scott Dev-illier explains, “We budgeted very conservatively going into this year, not knowing what to expect with the MFP and the economy. We delayed many of the plans we already had in place in order to determine whether funding would be available. Now that we see we are in a position to move forward, many of these proj-ects will be fast-tracked.”
Devillier says he plans to lower

Help Fight Cancer with Food, Fun and Family: Zachary/Baker Relay for Life Event
This year’s Zachary/Baker Relay for Life is set for Friday evening, April 19 at the BREC Zachary Com-munity Park located at 20055 Hwy. 964 off of Old Scenic Hwy. This an-nual event offers a great way to sup-port those in the community who have lost loved ones and to celebrate with the survivors who fought—and continue to fight—cancer…and have a great time with the entire family!
Relay teams are ready to go with food, fun and games for you and your family to enjoy throughout the night. This year’s theme is “Making Cancer History,” and teams were en-couraged to be creative when choos-ing tent decorations and food items.
There are more than 20 teams set to be on site during the event, selling food and offering games as part of the fundraising efforts. The special survivor dinner will begin at 6 p.m. The dinner is free for survivors and a caregiver, but registration is re-quired to receive an invitation. Con-tact Tamara Vines at 225-654-0779 to inquire on the availability for this special dinner and recognition.
This year’s event offers a few changes to help those in attendance enjoy the evening even more. In or-der to ease the task of parking, a free shuttle bus will allow you to park in the LeBlanc’s shopping center and be dropped off at the entrance
to the BREC Park where all of the festivities will be held. The shuttle bus will run from 5:30-10 p.m. Park-ing will also be available at Zachary Youth Park with survivor, handicap and volunteer parking at the BREC Zachary Community Park.
Ticket booths will be set up, and tickets can be used at all team tents and booths during the event. All ma-jor credit cards, checks and cash will be accepted. Tickets are $1 each and will be the only currency accepted at team booths. Games2U will be set up from 6-8 p.m. with their game van, hamster ball and laser tag. Unlim-

student to teacher ratio in elementary classrooms by hiring additional per-sonnel. He also anticipates funding curriculum writing and professional development for the new Common Core State Standards implementa-tion this summer.
Technology in the school district will also benefit from additional funding. Two years ago, the school board altered the replacement cycle for district computers due to fund-ing restraints. Recently, the district has formed a technology integration committee led by Federal Programs and Technology Director Gwendo-lyn Longmire to identify areas where technology will enhance instruction in the new curriculum. The group is identifying best practices and mak-ing recommendations including the possible piloting of a 1 to 1 laptop initiative in the Ninth Grade Acad-emy and the purchase of iPads and other resources to enhance instruc-tion district-wide.
“The bottom line is this couldn’t come at a better time. We have a lot to do to make sure our teachers are in a position to be successful next year as they implement a new, more rigorous curriculum. This will allow us to provide the training and addi-tional resources they need to give them and our students a step ahead,” Devillier said.

Simplify Accommodations is Thriving Due to Film Tax Credits
Stephanie Clarke and Miles Hig-gins of Simplify Accommodations, LLC, the exclusive housing provider for Raleigh Studios Baton Rouge at the Celtic Media Centre, announced today that they have reached agreements with seven films to provide housing for their cast and crews while filming in Loui-siana.
“We are excited about the opportu-nity to coordinate the hotels, corporate housing and executive accommoda-tions for another great group of produc-tion companies that will, once again, be filming in Louisiana over the next sev-eral months. We sincerely hope that the tax incentives that have played a vital role in attracting these films to our great state remain in place for the foreseeable future and thus allow companies like ourselves to exist,” said Mr. Higgins. Simplify Accommodations will also
be assisting the Louisiana International Film Festival with their hotel accom-modations.
“Simplify Accommodations has been the perfect partner for the studio by booking thousands of room nights for productions with local properties, and those guests are putting millions into our local economy,” said Patrick Mulhearn, director of studio operations at the Celtic Media Centre. “They’re a great example of a business that has thrived as a result of Louisiana’s mo-tion picture tax credit system.”
Simplify Accommodations pro-vides corporate housing, hotel accom-modations and luxury housing to cor-porate clients and the entertainment industry nationally. Simplify Accom-modations is owned by Missy Higgins, Miles Higgins, Melissa Higgins and Stephanie Clarke.
The Zachary Chamber of Com-merce will be offering a workshop in conjunction with Dale Carnegie Training called “Engaged Employ-ees Create Results.” Employers who would like to learn the costs and benefits of employee engagement, increase employees’ commitment or reduce turnover should consider this two-hour seminar, which will be held on April 30 from 11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. at the Zachary Branch Li-brary.
Ground breaking research has re-vealed that there are three clusters of behaviors that significantly impact engagement. Jim Winner–author of
Split Second Choice, new business development coach and franchi-see of Dale Carnegie Training–will present these clusters and break down the individual actions in order to develop enthusiastic, empowered, confident and inspired employees. Employee engagement can produce significant increases in productivity, upwards of 202% more; and attitude maintenance is one critical factor.
The cost is $10 at the door; a Sub-way lunch will be provided. RSVP to Kea Warne at the Chamber office by calling 225-654-6777.

The the-atre was also home to the recent dis-trict band festival with schools from all over the south in attendance. The space has proven to be a useful and

beautiful addition to the community of Zachary for multiple, diverse pro-ductions, presentations, pageants and more.

Tickets are $5 for elementary students, $10 for middle and high school students (with ID), $15 for adults, or $10 purchased through a
cast member.For more information, please
email Jen at [email protected], Trish at [email protected] or Jason at [email protected].
In addition to the Wizard of Oz production, the cast will be hosting an opportunity to have breakfast with the lead characters on Saturday, April 20 at 10 a.m. in the theatre. Parents may bring their own cameras for photo opportuni-ties. A breakfast buffet will
be served. The cost is only $5 per person; contact Jen Masterson for tickets.
