The St. Bernard Parish School Board convened on September 9, 2025, to address several important matters, beginning with a moment of silence honoring the memory of several former educators. The board recognized the contributions of Janice Compagna, a long-term special education coordinator; Patsy Evans, a dedicated teacher and collective bargaining officer; Rita Dowd, a beloved teacher and community pillar; and Mary Milosa, who served at Carollan 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.

Following this solemn tribute, the meeting transitioned to the regular agenda, where the board discussed the new wellness policy for the 2025-2026 school year.
