Most Louisiana school districts are parish school districts while some are city school districts. The U.S. Census Bureau counts both types as independent governments. Special School District 1, which has gifted education facilities, is directly under the authority of the state government, not counted by the Census Bureau as its own government. The state does not have any public school systems directly dependent on another layer of government like a parish government or a municipal government.[1] The following are Louisiana's city school districts: Baker, Bogalusa, Central, Monroe, and Zachary.
