This episode of the KTBS political podcast, “The App – ArkLaTex People and Politics,” features Stacey Melerine—a member of Louisiana’s Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, more commonly referred to as BESE.
Melerine discusses her road to becoming a BESE board member, which is rather unique; the role BESE plays in Louisiana education policy—which, in some respects, is surprising; and the progress Louisiana students have made in national education rankings.
Melerine is also a practicing attorney and is married to Louisiana State Representative Michael Melerine, who has also been a guest on The App.
The political podcast “The App – ArkLaTex People and Politics” is produced and hosted by KTBS political anchor Jeff Beimfohr, and can be found on all major podcast platforms, as well as all KTBS digital platforms.
