Robert Roussel has called St. John the Baptist Parish home since 2014. As the Father of three SJPB students, the husband of a teacher, and a local church pastor, Robert has seen firsthand what our schools do well — and where they need stronger support.
Robert believes school board members must be present, invested, and relateable. He's a resident of Garyville, the father of three children who attend St. John the Baptist Parish Schools, the husband of a St. John the Baptist Parish Teacher, and someone who hears the perspectives of students and teachers - the most important elements of our Public School system.
Robert has continued to serve as Pastor of First Baptist Church of Reserve since 2014, and as a Port Chaplain since 2016. Between the relationships with people in the community and the perspective gained in his experience, Robert understands the challenges and the needs facing our schools.
Our schools should be a place where every child feels wanted, their needs are met, and they're given the opportunity to thrive.
If we want our kids to succeed, we need to give teachers the time, tools, and respect they deserve.
Our schools need to model, "Treat other people the way you want to be treated." — a positive culture where hard work is rewarded will benefit everyone in our communities, from parents to staff.
Our schools face real problems — our leadership faces tough decisions. I beleive our community deserves honest, trustworthy, and dependable board action. It's time for the board to earn our trust.
As a parent, I undstand what it's like to want your voice to be heard. I will continue to push for stronger focus on community feedback and decisions that reflect it.
St. John the Baptist Parish is here to stay. It's time we start planning like it. With the completion of the West Shore Lake Pontchartrain (levee) Project, I see the public school system as the number one issue concerning the future growth of our parish.

Likewise, its easier to trust leaders who's values you know. These are the values that lead my interactions now with our school system and what will guide my decisions if elected.
