The board accepted the lowest responsive bid for the West Park annex reroofing project from Edward J. Laperouse Metal Works and established a total project budget of $215,200 to be paid from the Building Fund. The contract bid amount cited in the agenda was $192,590.
For Oak Lawn Middle School the board approved the award to Bolt Inc. for a freezer/cooler replacement and established a total project budget of $458,885; funds for that project will be drawn from the Building Fund and the Child Nutrition Program Fund. Mechanical engineer Robert Utley told the board the work goes beyond a straight equipment swap: the project includes demolition, floor work, new openings into adjacent space that formerly housed a boiler room, and reconfiguration to allow deliveries to the new cooler and freezer. Utley said the scope added to the cost beyond a simple unit replacement.
Board members questioned the project price. Board member Matthew Ford said he was “not sold on it yet” and compared the cost to other construction benchmarks; other members noted the construction is significant and the location and connections to existing spaces make retrofit work more complex. District staff told the board the Building Fund balance before these projects was roughly $3,000,000 and that the fund will remain with approximately $2.1 million after the three large projects presented at the meeting.
The board also approved the lowest bid meeting specifications for the Oak Lawn project and authorized the board president to sign project documents. The board approved the hiring of Edward J. Laperouse Metal Works for the West Park project and authorized award documents for the Oak Lawn and other projects.
For South Terrebonne High School the board authorized a notice to proceed to the district’s architect to advance a security-fencing project, established a $200,000 budget from the Building Fund and authorized advertising for bids. Board members discussed fence materials and noted the cost reflects linear footage, gates and different materials planned for the front entrance versus perimeter fencing.
The child-nutrition department was authorized to advertise a six‑month bid for meat, frozen, canned and dry goods for Jan. 1–June 30, 2026, funded by the Child Nutrition Fund, and to advertise for local-beef bids for the same period. Staff clarified that “local beef” for the bid means product produced and slaughtered in the state of Louisiana and sold fresh (not prepared or cooked). The board also authorized advertising for moving services for South Terrebonne and approved a one‑year bid award for career and technical high welding equipment and supplies to Gas and Supply for Sept. 3, 2025–Sept. 2, 2026, with an option to extend by mutual agreement.
Motions to accept the various bids and budgets were recorded as passed; the transcript shows no roll‑call vote tallies for these items and no public opposition was recorded at the meeting.","The board approved multiple construction and equipment contracts and authorized bid advertisements for child nutrition supplies and local beef; it set budgets for reroofing and refrigeration projects and authorized a security‑fencing project for South Terrebonne High School.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6129959,"School board authorizes president to execute agreements under CDBG-DR for Hurricane Ida recovery",158,1640000,1798000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5741498-8bff8fc0eeea3ef67f76e30eea513a47&start=1640&end=1798","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5741498-8bff8fc0eeea3ef67f76e30eea513a47/thumbnail_1640000.jpg","/articles/6129959/Louisiana/School-board-authorizes-president-to-execute-agreements-under-CDBG-DR-for-Hurricane-Ida-recovery","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6129959-855d63eefbac206c32b38d5839b5f921/orig.mp4?Expires=1771150119&Signature=Js9Op7SveV3cHUdgnNM-DJmvkLn7h~ao3pGs0x55Thr~vDcqvK-BJ~SzDeIm9ejo8PQ4draY1T6Ja4~bStinBOpqqiNp8XHvzaPcVlqcvikq0~tCxuiQZikN8MJngPSSP78JDDyapPzvWyuTOiwhsj5b0bV4Su0MhxAuCherJtzt09iE5EZRvE1wO~H3jf6QXDJNtR3S2OAfAlsUs7DMXbwPqmD1-lMpUtwuVeOMp~LrpmCOjGp~~wD1wC6l0R9MBelJUzWeefV2zWHqZJXRNStvfpaS5zCT-obmG6njOtnbq4mx2PCod86SAnZxq~FqCl0iVXg8adGxx3wd7xyBfA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Terrebonne Parish School Board voted Sept. 2 to adopt a resolution authorizing the board president to execute agreements necessary to implement Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds for Hurricane Ida recovery.
The resolution authorizes the board president to sign agreements for grant-funded recovery work the district will undertake. Board members asked about oversight and coordination with the parish council; staff clarified that project selection and use of the funds will proceed through recommendations presented to the school board and “exclusively to the board, not in conjunction with the parish council.”
District staff told the board that some approved CDBG-DR funds will support work at Fletcher Elementary (identified by staff as a near-term project). No public comment on the resolution was recorded at the meeting.

The committee recommended updates to Policy File H-3.5 (suspension and expulsion), H-4.5 (child abuse), H-3.3 (bullying and hazing), H-2.1A, G-8.3 (computer and Internet use), G-7 (instructional materials) and H-3.6. Committee chair Dr. Closier presented the recommendations to the full board and the board voted to accept the committee’s recommendations.
The move reflects committee work that produced the updated language and procedures for handling student discipline, child-abuse reporting and digital access. Committee members reported no public comments on the changes during committee or at the board meeting. Board member Matthew Ford said the revisions “show the changes that are happening in K‑12 education these days” and characterized them as efforts “to enrich the full experience of a student.”
Board discussion on the items was limited; motions to adopt each revised policy were made and recorded as passed. The transcript records no roll‑call vote tallies for the policy items, and no public speakers addressed the policies during the meeting.
The Education Technology and Policy Committee adjourned after presenting the recommendations; the board adopted the recommended policy revisions as presented.
Board members and district staff said the policies are being adopted to align the district with current practices in other districts and to provide clearer procedures for staff and students. No implementation timeline or additional administrative guidance was included in the meeting minutes for the newly adopted policies.","The Terrebonne Parish School Board approved multiple revised policies on suspension, child abuse reporting, bullying, computer use and instructional materials after a committee recommendation; no public comment was recorded.","actionData","errors"]
