The Terrebonne Parish School Board on July 1 adopted the final 2024–25 budget for designated funds and accepted proposed operating budgets for fiscal year 2025–26, setting a public hearing for 5 p.m. July 8 in the boardroom at 201 Stadium Drive in Houma.
The board’s finance, insurance and Section 16 lands committee recommended the adoption, and the board voted to “adopt as presented the final 2024–25 budget for the designated funds.” The motion was moved and seconded during the meeting and passed with no opposition recorded.
The committee’s action allows the final budgets for those funds to operate as variable budgets, with estimated revenues set equal to actual revenues provided such revenues do not exceed amounts approved by the board and state or federal regulatory authorities. The recommendation also sets final appropriations equal to actual expenditures, again constrained by board and state or federal regulatory approvals.
Separately, the board received and accepted proposed operating budgets for the general operating fund, child nutrition fund, program funding and multiple local sales-tax and special revenue funds for the 2025–26 fiscal year and established the public hearing for July 8 at 5 p.m. in the boardroom.
Board members underscored the upcoming hearing as the opportunity for public review; a committee member reminded the public of the July 8 hearing and invited attendance.
The board did not record an individual roll-call tally in the minutes for these motions; the clerk noted no opposition during the voice vote.
