The Lafayette Parish School Board convened a special meeting on June 12, 2025, to adopt the unified budget for the fiscal year 2025-2026. The meeting commenced with the board calling the session to order, bypassing the roll call due to the limited attendance.
The primary agenda item was the Finance Resolution 06-025-2137, which proposed the adoption of the budget. Board member Mr. Edmond made a motion to approve the resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Dezarmo. Following the motion, the board opened the floor for public and board comments. Mr. Dugas expressed gratitude to staff members Anthony and Matt for their efforts in preparing the budget, particularly acknowledging Matt's contributions as this was his final budget presentation before departing.
After a brief discussion, the board proceeded to vote on the resolution. The motion passed with a vote of 9 in favor and none against, successfully adopting the budget for the upcoming fiscal year. The meeting concluded shortly thereafter, with members expressing their appreciation for Matt's work and contributions to the board.
Overall, the meeting was focused and efficient, culminating in the successful adoption of the budget, which is crucial for the operations of the Lafayette Parish School System in the coming year.
