Summary
The board authorized a $375,000 appropriation to acquire and maintain the Biomed Building, noting an appraisal is underway and one trustee abstained from the vote.
The St. Landry Parish School Board on April 9 approved appropriating $375,000 for the maintenance and acquisition of the Biomed Building, funding drawn from the office treasurer’s available funds.
Board discussion referenced a prior appropriation and said the district is moving forward with an appraisal of the property before final steps. A trustee urged using the money for long‑term planning and noted the appropriation gives the district flexibility to secure the facility for future educational uses.
The motion carried by voice vote with one trustee recorded as abstaining. Board staff said the appropriation would allow the district to proceed with appraisal and acquisition steps and that additional details would be provided as the transaction progressed.
