\"We met 9 times September through May. Over the course of that those 9 months, we answered a 46 questions that were sent to us,\" Hodson said. He summarized that the council has shifted to front-loading administrative and compensation questions so monthly meetings can spend more time on curriculum and student issues.

Committee members raised whether school employees could submit questions anonymously. Hodson said the ERC does not accept anonymous questions: \"So we don't allow anonymous questions that I don't see us doing that.\" He explained that ERC representatives are elected by faculty to serve as a single point of contact and that principals are the expected first point of contact for school-specific issues before escalation to the ERC. Hodson described using a Google Form internally in some cases but said the submitted questions are routed through the ERC representative for that school so the council receives a single, vetted question from the school community.

Several members of the committee praised the ERC format as allowing school representatives to bring questions directly to the superintendent and curriculum staff. Hodson said the approach has reduced repetitive questions about timing for stipends and payroll by addressing those items up front so meetings can focus on instruction and student needs.

The ERC update was an informational item; no committee action or vote was taken on the ERC process during the meeting. The committee adjourned after the update.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","TPSDBoard 2025 05 20 Education","oneSentenceSummary","Matthew Hodson, supervisor of human resources, told the committee the Employee Representative Council met nine times during the school year and handled 46 questions.

Mister Pellegrin summarized the inaugural year: \"we had 14 students that participated from our high schools, all of them completed the program, and we found out recently that 1 of them is actually gonna be hired by TARC in mid June to start working at their businesses.\" Pellegrin said there are potentially three other students who may be hired and called the program a success for participating students.

Committee members asked about capacity to expand internships. Pellegrin said the district is pursuing additional employer partners, citing a lead with Terrebonne General and noting that Terrebonne Arc’s thrift store and the hospital are located on Enterprise Drive, which could allow the district to \"pinch potentially use the same transportation.\" Pellegrin also addressed staffing and funding for supervisors who accompany students: when asked whether those staff would be paid from federal program funds or district general fund, Pellegrin said, \"Right right now, it comes from general fund.\"

The committee recommended that the board \"approve and accept the option to extend the current interagency agreement that institutes an internship program between Terrebonne Parish School District and Terrebonne Arc for the 2025–26 school year and further authorizes the superintendent to sign all necessary documents pertaining thereto.\" A motion to approve was moved by Mister Ford and seconded by an unnamed committee member; no public objections were recorded and the presiding member declared the motion approved by consent.

The extension continues a district effort to place high school students in workplace internships with local employers; Pellegrin said transportation and staff capacity remain constraining factors for expansion.","The committee recommended extending the interagency agreement with Terrebonne Arc (TARC) to continue an internship program that had 14 student participants; one participant is expected to be hired and transportation and staffing questions remain.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_46":105,"_48":106,"_50":107,"_52":108,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":109,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":110,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6226423,"Terrebonne committee recommends renewing Head Start interagency agreement after classrooms drop to eight",366,79000,445000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3510831-d8e27ed19390449070da883b574bbb40&start=79&end=445","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3510831-d8e27ed19390449070da883b574bbb40/thumbnail_79000.jpg","/articles/6226423/Louisiana/Terrebonne-committee-recommends-renewing-Head-Start-interagency-agreement-after-classrooms-drop-to-eight","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6226423-bb2290bb7eb66bbe3bf2b82c065543d0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770963663&Signature=XxJr4Vp-WxIZbKcjPdxZuRLXCIzSlFZ~YOCg8gwgJZV1oaMRuzQhkk-~~nKKD3R0DYrVKzFHKblC1pfkr9K~poclGANxA80qkBaMiihnZIdu5XRSPo2sPeSpN1e6egjxQDhXLjLePZZH2KG5E74YloM~h2OzVZCFopb1eTRt9qXz7Y~W2yW6UJgRcCfw7IQu~xo4IEMdBs6F-d7UMgqT1cEiuno9YTK-22YGnSYAleaX-5T~06jBaGZcFPTUmTkUMhEkHIfWSJ445Mi1gO-N4lYlzqIsPrXykPibAkjUB8I5Exs9QlSfg~3pwJrchW~jS8bTKqisOr6u~m~N4IiIGA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Terrebonne Parish School District Education Technology and Policy Committee on May 20 recommended that the school board renew an interagency agreement with Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government to operate the local Head Start program for the 2025–26 school year, after the program reduced its classrooms from 10 to 8 and set enrollment at 136 children.

The renewal matters because it authorizes services and funding for early-childhood education in the parish and includes staffing and pay adjustments aimed at keeping classrooms fully enrolled. Diane Powell, Head Start representative, told the committee, \"Things have changed a bit for Head Start and Terrebonne, dropping from 10 classrooms to 8. Okay. So we'll serve 136 children and families, and do what we do.\" She said the Office of Head Start asked the program to change its scope to match enrollment and that the program would use some of the funds to raise staff pay: \"they're giving me the opportunity for pay parity, raises for all my staff with the money that I would use for salaries, utilities, rent, etcetera, food. So staff will get a bump up and I'll be able to hire more family, advocates and folks like that to serve the families.\"

Committee members pressed Powell on capacity and future expansion. Powell said she lost two classrooms at the Senator Circle site, attempts to find replacements were unsuccessful and, \"At this point, it's too late for me to find I have to stick with 8.\" She described the program’s ability to add slots again as contingent on the Office of Head Start issuing opportunities such as request-for-proposal openings: \"It would have to be offered... only if they offer that opportunity.\" The committee recommendation asked the full board to \"approve and accept as presented the interagency agreement between Terrebonne Parish School Board and Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government on behalf of its Head Start program for the 2025–26 school year and further authorize the board president to sign all necessary documents pertaining thereto.\"

A motion to adopt the committee recommendation was moved by Mr. Ford and seconded by an unnamed committee member. No public objections were recorded during the meeting, and the presiding member declared the motion approved \"hearing none, so moved.\" The committee did not record a roll-call vote during the discussion.

The renewal preserves Head Start services in Terrebonne Parish at the reduced classroom count and includes a shift in budgeted uses to support staff pay parity and additional family-support roles. Powell said the program is fully enrolled at eight classrooms and cannot accept additional children until enrollment opportunities are offered by the Office of Head Start.","The Education Technology and Policy Committee on May 20 recommended renewing an interagency agreement with Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government to operate Head Start in 2025–26 despite a reduction from 10 to 8 classrooms and an enrollment cap of 136 children.","actionData","errors"]
