On behalf of Assessor Erroll G. Williams, his spokeswoman Cheron Brylski issued this statement on August 3, 2018:
 
“Today, legal counsel notified us that a 4th Circuit Court of Appeals rulling disqualifying our sole opponent in the 2018 re-election campaign for Assessor of Orleans Parish has been upheld. As of today, Mr. Williams has been elected to a third term to serve the citizens of New Orleans, as so noted on the Louisiana Secretary of State’s website.”

Dr. Lonnie Luce, Superintendent of University View Academy joined Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI) Chief Executive Officer Stephen Waguespack, as well as representatives from both organizations in finalizing the sale of the long-time LABI Baton Rouge Headquarters Building to the state’s largest online charter school.

The sale, which includes the building, its furniture and audio equipment, was completed for $1.8 million. LABI is moving its headquarters closer to the State Capitol in downtown Baton Rouge. The current University View campus is comprised of about 20,000 square feet; the new building will accommodate University View Academy’s continued growth.

The Greater New Orleans Collaborative of Charter Schools and its member charter schools do not discriminate in the rendering of services to, or regarding employment of, individuals because of race, color, religion, sex, gender, age, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected basis.

Dr. Lonnie Luce, University View Academy Superintendent, applauded high school students in his 2300-seat K-12 public online charter for having one of the state’s five highest growth rates passing the Advanced Placement exams required to earn college credits while in high school.

University View Academy logged one of the top five growth rates in the state between 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 school years among students successfully passing the AP exams in various subjects such as math, science and English. A student must score a 3, 4 or 5 to earn college credit in any Louisiana higher education institution and be eligible to “test out” of entry level college courses as they pursue advanced degrees.

University View students taking the AP exams had a 20 percent pass rate increase between the two comparative years, while the state pass rate increase for the same time period was 10 percent. The highest rate of score increase was 25.3 percent. Schools with higher pass improvement rates are West Monroe High, Magnet Academy for Cultural Arts, David Thibodaux STEM Magnet, and West Ouachita High.
