Board approves extension of Superintendent Milton Baptiste's contract through Dec. 31, 2028
Summary
The board approved an amended and restated contract extending Superintendent Milton Baptiste's term to Dec. 31, 2028 with no change in compensation; the vote included abstentions recorded in the transcript.
The St. Landry Parish School Board on May 7 approved an amended and restated contract extending Superintendent Milton Baptiste's term through Dec. 31, 2028, with no increase in compensation.
The agenda item described the extension as administrative and non-substantive with respect to compensation and other material terms. After discussion the board moved and seconded the measure; the transcript records abstentions during the vote (the meeting transcript records "Abstain" entries but does not identify which members abstained).
A board member asked for clarification about how the item became a motion to not acquire a building earlier in the meeting; members said the superintendent and committee had reconciled that question and brought the contract extension as a separate personnel action. The board approved the contract in open session and noted that it could convene an executive session if further discussion were necessary.
The board did not record a detailed roll-call vote for the contract item in the transcript excerpt; the meeting text records that abstentions were entered. The contract extension takes effect as adopted on May 7, 2026.
