  • Membership in the Louisiana House of Representatives
    MEMBERSHIP IN THE LOUISIANA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 1812 - 2024 Revised – July 28, 2021 David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library Louisiana House of Representatives 1 2 PREFACE This publication is a result of research largely drawn from Journals of the Louisiana House of Representatives and Annual Reports of the Louisiana Secretary of State. Other information was obtained from the book, A Look at Louisiana's First Century: 1804-1903, by Leroy Willie, and used with the author's permission. The David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library also maintains a database of House of Representatives membership from 1900 to the present at http://drplibrary.legis.la.gov . In addition to the information included in this biographical listing the database includes death dates when known, district numbers, links to resolutions honoring a representative, citations to resolutions prior to their availability on the legislative website, committee membership, and photographs. The database is an ongoing project and more information is included for recent years. Early research reveals that the term county is interchanged with parish in many sources until 1815. In 1805 the Territory of Orleans was divided into counties. By 1807 an act was passed that divided the Orleans Territory into parishes as well. The counties were not abolished by the act. Both terms were used at the same time until 1845, when a new constitution was adopted and the term "parish" was used as the official political subdivision. The legislature was elected every two years until 1880, when a sitting legislature was elected every four years thereafter. (See the chart near the end of this document.) The War of 1812 started in June of 1812 and continued until a peace treaty in December of 1814.

  • Truancy Assessment and Service Center (TASC) FINAL REPORT
    SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK OFFICE OF SOCIAL SERVICE RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT Truancy Assessment and Service Center (TASC) FINAL REPORT MAY 1999 – DECEMBER 2012 ISSUED AUGUST 2013 College of Human Sciences & Education Office of Social Service Research & Development To Our TASC Contributors and Supporters: This is the final report on the comprehensive work of the Truancy Assessment and Service Centers (TASC) that have operated in conjunction with Louisiana State University (LSU) since 1999. The report contains summary information on each of the TASC sites that were in operation during the years in which the LSU Office of Social Service Research and Development (OSSRD) implemented a rigorous monitoring and evaluation plan. Although it is with great sadness that OSSRD will no longer be a part of the TASC program in the state, it is also a time to acknowledge our gratitude and appreciation for having the opportunity to work with such an effective and inspiring group of individuals, agencies, public officials, and local governments. More importantly, we can acknowledge the contributions of TASC in preventing many high-risk Louisiana children from entering a lifetime of crime because of the commitment and dedication of so many people. It is important to look back on the development of TASC, from the first time Senator Chris Ullo began asking OSSRD staff members how to prevent children from entering a lifetime of crime to the point where the Louisiana Legislature decided to commit state support of empirically-based truancy prevention efforts for many years. Through the leadership of a handful of committed public officials and numerous TASC supporters, the TASC program was able to maintain the intermediary support of the state’s flagship university to ensure cost effectiveness and outcomes showing that the TASC model kept children in school.

Monroe Library Loyola University New Orleans Collection 29 WYES Informed Sources Archive Reference Code Collection 29 Name and Location of Repository Special Collections and Archives, J. Edgar & Louise S. Monroe Library, Loyola University New Orleans Title WYES Informed Sources Archive Date 1984 - Present Extent 5 boxes Subject Headings WYES-TV (Television station : New Orleans, La.) Administrative/Biographical History In 1984, WYES, New Orleans' public television station, began broadcasting Informed Sources, a program devoted to in-depth discussion of the news by local journalists. During that first show, a panel of journalists speculated about the reasons for the financial dilemmas of the Louisiana World Exposition, locally known as the World's Fair. Now more than two decades later, every Friday night at 7:00 p.m., Louisiana's newsmen and women continue to speculate, discuss and examine the news of the week. The idea for Informed Sources originated in 1971 on WYES with City Desk, a news and talk show, which featured the staff of the New Orleans States-Item and ran for seven seasons. The station had been without a news program for several years when Marcia Kavanaugh Radlauer, an experienced television reporter and independent producer, was asked to create a new show. Like City Desk, the format was a panel discussion of current news, but instead of featuring journalists from only one source, a variety of participants from television, radio, newspapers and eventually, online newsletters contributed their talents and expertise. Informed Sources originally included a "Newsmakers" interview to help fill the half-hour, but before long that segment was omitted.
