Livingston Parish School Board approves minutes, accepts house bid, rejects fuel bids and schedules committee meetings
Summary
In routine business, the Livingston Parish School Board approved minutes, accepted a $20,257 bid for a house to be moved, rejected and agreed to re-advertise fuel bids after an administrative error, approved the monthly financial report and scheduled committee meetings for April 21.
The Livingston Parish School Board completed routine agenda items and took several administrative actions during its meeting.
After a roll call and the approval of the March 19 minutes (a motion by Mr. Brad Harris, seconded by Mr. Cecil Harris), the board recognized alumnus Brian Thomas Jr. and then returned to business. Accountant Bridget Demonica reported that one bid was received for bid number 26‑03 (sale of house to be moved): Jeff Clark offered $20,257. The board moved to accept the bid; the motion was seconded and carried. The transcript records Jeff Cox as the second; the initial mover was not specified in the record.
On bid number 26‑11 (gas and diesel for LPPS fuel stations), Demonica said an administrative error—an omitted time change on the posted addendum—affected the bid opening. Dr. Ron McMorris moved to reject all bids and re‑advertise; Mr. Cecil Harris seconded and the motion carried.
The board also approved the monthly financial report, accepted an update on audit findings, and authorized payment of invoices and district supplements after a motion by Mr. Jeff Cox and a second from Ms. Caitlyn Cockerham. The superintendent, Mr. Link, then made announcements: an invitation from Monique Hibbs of Senator Hodges’ office to recognize Livingston Parish High School Students of the Year at the state Capitol on April 22 at 4 p.m., the district’s participation in the Livingston Parish Chamber business and community expo on May 12, and a link to informational material about “Amendment Three.”
The board scheduled its budgeting‑goals committee followed by the athletic/medical staff committee on April 21 at 4:00 p.m. The meeting adjourned after a motion by Mr. Robert (Bob) Seals, seconded by Mr. Brad Sharp.
