The Terrebonne Parish School Board Buildings, Food Service & Transportation Committee on June 17 recommended that the full board approve two construction change orders: a $28,165.82 change order for HVAC and partition work at Coto Bridal Blue Elementary School and a $346,574.53 change order related to hurricane Ida repairs at the Fletcher Building.

The recommended change orders matter because they alter scope and funding for ongoing facility repairs and renovations, and staff said the Fletcher adjustment is intended to align work to FEMA funding rules.

For Coto Bridal Blue Elementary the committee recommended Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $28,165.82 “to remove accordion wall and install a permanent wall and HVAC changes to Room 6 for further office space,” with funds to be derived from the building fund, and further authorized the board president or superintendent to sign related documents. The motion was moved by Mister Boazen and seconded by the chair; Mr. Sammy spoke during public comment, saying the work is “in conjunction with all the security going on” and explaining: “they have the old accordion doors that everybody's seen … they're falling apart. So we're taking them all out, putting walls in, and building the, the new office area for the principals.” No objections were heard.

On the Fletcher Building item, the committee recommended approving Change Order No. 4 in the amount of $346,574.53 to add demolition to shop areas and air‑conditioned space and to eliminate certain interior finishes, doors, electrical and fire alarm scope; the item was described in the motion as carrying a credit amount of $346,574.53. Mister Wasan moved the Fletcher motion and the chair seconded. Mister Roan explained the purpose: “Basically, what we're trying not to do is put in work from the item repairs that have to tear it out with the future work of Fletcher. So this is a smart way not to have to do redundancy at work. It pay for it again down the road.” He added the goal is to “make sure that the FEMA funds are maximized on both projects and making sure that we're not taking away something that FEMA can pay for so they're not having to pay twice.” The committee recorded no objections when the chair asked.

Both items authorize the president and superintendent to sign necessary documents and were advanced to the full board for formal action. The committee did not record a roll‑call vote in the transcript excerpt.

The transcript does not list the vendors or contractors performing the work, nor does it show the full contract documents; board packets may contain those details for the full‑board agenda.
