The St. Bernard Parish School Board on June 24 approved several committee-recommended items by unanimous votes, including excess workers’ compensation insurance, a personnel evaluation plan, bid tabulations for upgrades to the Chalmette High School Cultural Arts Center, bus-parts contracts for fiscal year 2025–26 and the district’s 2025–26 transportation routes.

Board members moved and seconded the items as routine committee recommendations. The motion to approve excess workers’ compensation insurance was made by Mr. Long and seconded by Ms. Creason; the board then voted to approve the item 10-0. The personnel evaluation plan was moved by Ms. Dysart and seconded by Ms. Creason and approved 10-0. The tabulation of proposals for the Chalmette High School Cultural Arts Center upgrades was moved by Mr. Warner and seconded by Mr. Rodriguez and approved 10-0. The bid tabulations for bus parts for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2026, were approved after a motion by Mr. Campbell and a second from Ms. White. The board also approved the 2025–26 transportation routes on a motion by Ms. Briesen, seconded by Mr. Warner, with a 10-0 vote.

School staff were present for the discussion and vote on the insurance item; Mr. Fernandez and Mr. Clements attended the meeting for that agenda item. Board members did not debate the measures at length during the meeting; each item was introduced as a committee recommendation and carried on voice vote.

The approved bus-parts tabulations cover the district’s procurement of parts for school vehicles for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025. The transportation-routes approval formalizes routing for the 2025–26 school year. The board did not provide contract numbers or dollar amounts for the tabulations during the meeting; those details were not specified in the materials read at the session.
