St. James board approves multiple contractor payouts and $2,000 for Beta Club trip
Summary
The board approved certificates of payment for construction and design contractors across district projects and approved a $2,000 allocation to help the St. James High Beta Club attend the National Beta Convention in Nashville.
The St. James Parish School Board approved several certificates of payment for ongoing construction and design work and approved a $2,000 allocation to support the St. James High School Beta Club’s trip to the National Beta Convention.
Ashley Muntz presented payouts for multiple projects, naming contractors and design firms for media center, softball complex renovations, campus drainage design, food-service freezer/cooler replacement, chiller replacement design and public relations building renovations. The transcript records payment amounts in the presenter’s readout but some figures were transcribed with unclear punctuation (see clarifying details). Nicole Florant moved the payout item and the board carried the motion by voice vote.
Holly Foster asked the board to approve $2,000 to offset travel and participation costs for the St. James High Beta Club, noting that two students qualified to compete at nationals and that the program had grown to 78 members keeping a 3.0 GPA or better. Sponsor Kiri Arseno described student achievements and service projects. The board approved the $2,000 allocation by voice vote.
Why it matters: The payouts allow contractors and design consultants to be paid so projects can advance; the Beta Club allocation supports student academic and leadership opportunities.
Next steps: Finance will process approved certificates of payment; Beta Club travel arrangements and fundraising will proceed with the district contribution.
