School board approves roof change order, leases, software renewals, budget revisions and two new job descriptions
Summary
At its June 3 meeting the Plaquemines Parish School Board approved a $56,812 roof change order, a three-year lease for the Thibodaux Learning Center, multiple software renewals, revisions to the FY2026 operating budget, and two job descriptions for district staffing; votes were recorded as voice votes and the recorded ERP support figure appears to be a possible transcription error.
The Plaquemines Parish School Board approved a series of routine and operational items on June 3, including facilities work, facility use agreements, software contract renewals, budget amendments and new job descriptions.
The board approved a $56,812 change order to replace roof decking for the Golden Meadow Middle School roof-repair project. A separate motion approved a three-year waiver of facility fees for a Thibodaux High School alumni basketball game requested by Chaz James; the requester will be responsible for a $300 damage deposit and custodian fees. Ms. Babin publicly thanked Chaz James and his organization for their community work.
The board also approved a three-year lease with the Virtual Academy of Lafourche for the Thibodaux Learning Center (800 East 7th Street, Thibodaux).
On procurement and technology, the board approved renewal of Follett Destiny Library Manager and resource applications for $54,668.38 and approved renewal of identity management software from Identity Automation for $40,395.60 for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. The transcript records approval of ERP software support services from Tyler Technologies (Munis) with a recorded amount of $148,575,000 for 2026-2027; that figure appears unusually large compared with the other line items and is flagged in the meeting record as a possible transcription or entry error that the district should confirm.
The board approved the 2026-2027 salary schedule and revisions to the fiscal year 2026 operating budget as presented by Chastity Email, Business Director (as recorded in the meeting). The board also approved job descriptions for a Coordinator of Curriculum, Data and Accountability (a rename from a prior 'Supervisor of Data and Accountability' title) and a Clinical Mental Health Provider role focused on students in the alternative education and therapeutic intervention programs; presenters said filling the new titles is expected to reassign existing employees rather than expand total payroll.
Most approvals were completed by voice vote; the meeting record shows motions, an affirmative "I" from members, and the statement "Motion carried," but it does not include roll-call tallies for each approval. Where the transcript lists mover/second names with inconsistent spellings (several instances of variant board-member name spellings appear), the minutes record the items as approved without further roll-call detail.
The board set tentative future meeting dates (committee meetings June 17, 2026; regular board meeting July 1, 2026) and closed the session.
