Summary

Committee approved an original FY2025–26 disaster recovery budget to cover remaining Hurricane Ida projects, including Grand Caillou and Upper Little Caillou schools and the Fletcher building; FEMA approval for some projects is still pending.

The committee approved an original fiscal-year 2025–26 budget for the disaster recovery fund to continue work on Hurricane Ida projects that remain open.

Miss Breaux briefed the committee on the recovery list, saying it has shortened but still includes several large projects: Grand Caillou Elementary, Upper Little Caillou Elementary, the Fletcher building in Allender and Salterraville Middle. She said some sites (notably Ellinger) remain in the planning phase because bids are not yet in and FEMA approval has not yet been received: "We don't have FEMA approval yet," she told the committee.

Because the district is operating on a reimbursement basis for these projects, Breaux explained the disaster recovery budget shows a small projected fund balance (about $60,000) while the district estimates spending amounts it expects to be reimbursed by FEMA.

A motion to approve the disaster recovery fund budget was moved by Mister Wasan and seconded by Mister Ford; the motion passed with no objections recorded in the transcript.
