Votes at a glance: Assumption Parish School Board approves calendar, adviser change, multiple bid solicitations and a change order
Summary
The board approved the 2026–2027 school calendar, authorized switching investment advisers to New Edge Advisors, authorized advertising bids for several school facilities projects, approved change order No. 1 for Barrow Lewis Elementary, and declared two containers surplus; all motions passed on voice votes.
The Assumption Parish School Board moved through routine and facilities business, approving a series of motions by voice vote.
Key approvals included: adoption of the meeting agenda; acceptance of the consent agenda (items 3a–3j); adoption of a resolution of sympathy for Catherine Moore; approval of the 2026–2027 school calendar; authorization for the superintendent to sign documents changing the district's investment adviser relationship to New Edge Advisors; authorization to advertise for bids on four facilities projects (Bell Rose Middle School sewer plant replacement, Pierrepoint Elementary walkway canopy, Lavertyville Bridal School gym HVAC, and Assumption High School welding shop grounding); approval of change order No. 1 for Barrow Lewis Elementary security and drainage; and a declaration that two storage containers are surplus and eligible for disposal.
Many motions included named movers and seconds in the record (for example, the calendar was moved by Miss Barris and seconded by Miss Orso). Most items passed on voice votes; the minutes did not record roll-call tallies for individual board members beyond general "Aye" responses recorded in the transcript.
What happens next: facilities staff will advertise the approved bid solicitations and continue construction under the approved change order; finance and administration will carry forward the adviser agreement execution and disposal actions.
