Lafourche Parish board approves contracts for chiller repair, timekeeping and classroom-management software

A presenter for the Lafourche Parish School Board told members June 17 that the district received bids for a chiller compressor replacement and recommended awarding the work to KRN Investments as the lowest bidder.

The presenter said, "I'm asking commission to award KRN Investments as the lowest bidder for chiller replacement or chiller compressor replacement." The board moved and voted; members responded "I" and the motion carried.

The presenter also reviewed a request for proposal for a time-and-attendance system and recommended awarding the contract to Red Rover as the highest-scored, responsive and responsible proposal. "I'm requesting commission to award Red Rover as our highest scored and most responsive and responsible proposal," the presenter said. The board voted to approve the award.

On classroom-management software the presenter recommended awarding the contract to Securely as the highest- and most-responsible proposer. Mr. Tate moved the classroom-management motion; it was seconded and approved by the board.

Why it matters: the awards govern which vendors will provide systems that affect buildings, HR operations and classroom management for the 2026–27 year. The board recorded no dissent during the public voting that followed each recommendation.

What’s next: staff will finalize contracts and proceed with procurement steps for the chiller work, the time-and-attendance implementation and the classroom-management rollout. The board did not provide detailed contract amounts for the chiller or software awards during the meeting.
