It is with great sadness the Bossier Parish School Board shares news that District 8 Representative Kenneth Wiggins, its longest serving board member, has passed away.
Wiggins was first appointed to the board in 1995 to fill a vacant seat, then continually served the District 8 constituency for more than three decades.
Bossier Schools Superintendent Jason Rowland called Wiggins “a one-of-a-kind gentleman.”
“He was a staunch advocate for our employees and we will miss his genuine humor of rhymes that he so eloquently would provide,” Rowland said. “He was a dear friend to our school system and he will be missed.”

ACT UPDATE:
Good news! Your scores from the Spring 2026 school-day ACT online test are once again available in MyACT.
As you may be aware, ACT had previously removed scores from online testing this spring in MyACT. After a rescoring process to ensure all scores are fair and reliable, your Composite score and section scores have either stayed the same or have slightly increased based on your individual performance. Your scores are not lower than what was previously available in your MyACT account.
ACT has shared reissued scores with your school. In addition, if you had ACT share your results with colleges or scholarship agencies, ACT is providing revised scores to each organization you identified. If you sent your scores outside of the ACT process, you should resend your updated scores (if affected) so that those institutions have the most up-to-date information.
If you have questions, please submit an online inquiry form.
