Board approves $264,100 renovation for Independence Magnet High School SPED room
Summary
The Tangipahoa Parish School Board approved a $264,100 contract to renovate a special-education (SPED) room at Independence Magnet High School, approving the base bid plus an alternate to replace windows; board members said the space will provide life‑skills training facilities.
The Tangipahoa Parish School Board voted June 2 to award CTR Construction LLC the contract to renovate a SPED classroom at Independence Magnet High School for $264,100.
Mr. McNeely told the board the work will include replacing floor tile, adding a restroom and storage, replacing ceiling tile and light fixtures, installing air conditioning and, under alternate #1, replacing classroom windows. The renovated space is intended to create a life‑skills area with a kitchen and laundry setup to help SPED students practice independent‑living skills.
Miss Abrams moved to approve the base bid and alternate #1; Mr. Moore seconded and the board approved the motion by roll call.
Next steps: administration will execute the contract with CTR Construction and schedule work to minimize disruption to classes.
