The Jeff Davis Parish School Board might hire a demographer to assist with a redistricting plan depending on what census results reveal about the parish.
After each census, the board and other governing bodies such as the police jury must look at the possibility of reapportionment, said Superintendent of Schools Kirk Credeur.
Mike Hefner, a demographer with Geographic Planning and Demographic Services out of Lafayette, said when census data is available, officials will know if districts remain balanced or must undergo reapportionment.
