Summary
At its March 7 meeting the St. Martin Parish Schools board approved a campsite-lease transfer, approved following staff recommendation on a consulting contract with LIFFT, approved the consent agenda, and rejected a motion to pay a stipend to an employee without a CDL; some student- and personnel-related actions were continued.
St. Martin Parish Schools board members handled several formal actions on March 7, including approvals and a failed motion.
The board recorded approval of a campsite-lease transfer after staff explained a lease needed to be transferred to an interested buyer; a motion was made and the transcript records "Motion passed." The agenda item described the interest of a party identified as "Mister Terrier" in selling what he has on the property and noted the lease transfer would be required for a sale.
Chair called for approval of the consent agenda and the motion (recorded in the transcript as moved by "Potti" and seconded by Mister Dondrow) carried. Later, the board considered an employee stipend request that would have paid a stipend without the employee holding a CDL; the motion (made by "miss Wanda" in the record) failed.
The board also considered a consulting contract with LIFFT (referenced in the record as "the Vienna Institute for Focused turnaround desegregation consultant"). A motion by Mister Koine, seconded by Mister Hughes Lake, to follow staff's recommendation carried and is recorded as "Motion passed." The record indicates the board voted to follow staff's recommendation on the contract; the transcript does not include detailed vote tallies for that motion in the provided segments.
A student-related personnel item was presented and the board moved to follow staff's recommendation and requested a vote; the outcome is not recorded in the available transcript segments.
Next steps: staff will finalize any required contract paperwork for the consulting engagement and implement lease-transfer steps as directed; specifics such as signatures, contract numbers, or vote tallies were not detailed in the segments provided.
