Board names Tangy Times official journal for 2025–26 year, citing lower bid
Summary
The Tangipahoa Parish School Board on June 3 accepted a $5-per-100-words bid from the Tangy Times to serve as the district’s official journal for 2025–26, citing its lower price and larger circulation.
The Tangipahoa Parish School Board accepted a bid from the Tangy Times on June 3 to serve as the district’s official journal for the 2025–26 year, selecting the lower-priced bid over a competing Daily Star offer.
Board members reviewed two bids: the Daily Star at $5.70 per 100 words and the Tangy Times at $5.00 per 100 words. The Tangy Times bid was described at the meeting as having a circulation of 8,093 and being published three weekdays; the Daily Star’s circulation was cited as 4,000 with the same publication frequency.
An administration representative recommended accepting the Tangy Times bid, noting the lower price and weekday publication schedule. Board Member Charles Piazza moved to accept the Tangy Times bid; Miss Dominguez seconded the motion. The motion carried on a roll-call vote.
A board member asked whether the Tangy Times is locally owned; the administration representative answered that the Tangy Times is locally owned and said they were unsure about the Daily Star’s ownership. The board did not authorize any additional contract beyond naming the official journal for public notices and district publications for the coming year.
The board recorded no objections on the vote and moved on to the superintendent’s report.
