Votes at a glance: audit approved; retreat planning, student assistance and calendar adopted
Summary
The board approved an unmodified FY2024–25 audit, authorized planning for a financial retreat with legislative auditor participation, approved a $200 assistance request for a JAG student, and adopted the 2026–27 academic calendar (Option A).
At its meeting the St. Landry Parish School Board approved several routine and administrative items by voice vote.
Audit: The board approved the fiscal year 2024–25 audit after Mr. Casey reported an unmodified (clean) audit opinion and noted one finding related to budget adoption that had been corrected.
Retreat planning: The board approved moving forward with planning multiple financial-training sessions to improve members' budget literacy. Staff said the sessions would include a presentation from the legislative auditor's office on legal obligations and instruction on "how to read a budget," followed by district presentations tailored to members' needs.
Student assistance: The board approved a request for $200 in financial assistance for a high-school JAG (Jobs for America's Graduates) student to attend a national career development competition in Salt Lake City April 30–May 2, 2026.
Academic calendar: The board adopted Option A for the 2026–27 academic calendar after staff presented survey results (711 responses) and noted an adjustment to account for November 3 (a federal election day) as a school holiday because many schools serve as polling places.
All items were approved by voice vote during the meeting; the transcript recorded motions and seconding of items but did not capture numeric roll-call tallies.
