Bossier Parish Schools is one of 10 school districts across the state of Louisiana that provides the opportunity for our students to complete their driver's education process through the schools. This allows our students to work with certified driving instructors who are also certified teachers. These teacher instructors are afforded the opportunity to be familiar with the students they are instructing and driving, which allows the student to feel comfortable and supported throughout the course work and driving experience.
