The Caldwell Parish School Board opened a nominal leadership transition when the incumbent president announced they would step down and members moved to elect a successor for a one-year term commencing Jan. 9, 2025. A motion to elect the new board president was made, seconded and the board indicated assent.
The board also discussed electing a vice president for the same one-year term. One member nominated themself; the board discussed committee placements and agreed to finalize committee memberships after the president contacts members about preferences.
On other governance business the board debated and approved the district's 2025 calendar, including a half-day designated for professional development. A motion to approve the calendar was made and the board voted "all in favor."
Members also discussed a proposed one-time 2025 stipend for maintenance personnel. The discussion cited prior stipend amounts, the historical number of maintenance employees and concerns about affordability; no roll-call vote or final approval of the stipend is recorded in the transcript.
Several routine resolutions were proposed, including an annual resolution declaring January School Board Recognition Month. The board discussed using a concise resolution to observe this annually.
