The St. Bernard Parish School Board held a General Committee Meeting on September 9, 2025, where members gathered to address key educational issues and honor the memory of several former educators.

The meeting began with a roll call, confirming the presence of most board members, while acknowledging the absence of Dr. Lemoine, who was attending a conference in Washington. Following the roll call, the board observed a moment of silence to pay tribute to former educators who had recently passed away. This included Janice Compagna, a long-time special education coordinator, Patsy Evans, a dedicated teacher and collective bargaining officer, Rita Dowd, a respected teacher and community figure, and Mary Milosa, who served at Carollon Park for many years. The board expressed its condolences to the families affected by these losses, highlighting the significant impact these individuals had on the community.

As the meeting progressed, the board moved on to the regular agenda, with Mr. Warner leading the discussion on educational committee items. While specific details of the agenda items were not disclosed in the transcript, the focus on education underscores the board's commitment to addressing the needs of students and educators in the parish.

This meeting reflects the school board's ongoing efforts to foster a supportive educational environment while honoring the contributions of those who have shaped the community's educational landscape. The discussions and decisions made in these meetings are crucial for the future of St. Bernard Parish's schools and the well-being of its students and educators.
