Committee backs Houma Christian’s request to use Terrebonne High track amid scheduling concerns
Summary
The committee recommended the board approve Houma Christian School’s request to waive policy e 1.6 to use Terrebonne High School’s track for practices, provided insurance, nonprofit status and principal approval are met; at least one board member urged exploring other sites to reduce scheduling strain.
The Building, Food Service and Transportation Committee on Thursday recommended that the school board approve Houma Christian School’s request to waive policy e 1.6 and use Terrebonne High School’s track for the season’s Tuesday and Thursday practice hours, provided the school furnishes required insurance, nonprofit documentation and principal approval.
The motion to approve was moved by Mister Boisien and seconded by the committee chair. Committee members heard no public comment during the vote. A board member who spoke during the discussion said he was not opposed to the Christian school using the facility but urged the district to seek additional locations to ease pressure on Terrebonne High School’s schedule, noting prior staffing changes in the physical education department had complicated bookings.
The exchange focused on scheduling equity rather than contesting the waiver’s terms. Staff reiterated that the waiver would be conditioned on meeting the listed policy requirements and obtaining the principal’s sign-off. The committee recorded the recommendation for the full school board to act on at its next meeting.
The committee’s action is a recommendation to the full board; the transcript records discussion and a motion but does not show a formal roll-call tally recorded in the committee minutes.
