Bogalusa school board approves asset disposal, copier lease and revised April budgets; adds dress-code item for policy review

The City of Bogalusa School District board approved three business items by roll-call votes during the meeting: disposal of systemwide fixed assets, acceptance of a copier lease funded through federal programs, and revised April 2026 budgets and financial statements for the general fund, food service, special revenue and school activities.

Board members heard no public comments on these items before each motion was made, seconded and approved by roll call. The meeting record shows each motion carried with affirmative roll-call responses from members present; the transcript records the roll calls as a sequence of "Yes" votes but does not record individual board-member vote names.

Separately, the board voted to add a new-business item to the agenda: consideration of student dress-code changes for the 2026–27 year. Members specifically approved adding a proposal to remove the explicit reference to "plaid bottoms" from the dress-code language and directed that the matter be discussed further at the next policy meeting. Board discussion noted plans to coordinate with the high-school store to provide ordering options for families; the policy committee will review the proposed language and options before a final vote.

No formal amendments or funding allocations for the dress-code item were adopted at the meeting. The board scheduled follow-up policy review and asked staff to bring details about costs and ordering options to the next policy meeting.
