Claiborne Parish School Board approves four policy revisions tied to 2025 state changes
Summary
The Claiborne Parish School Board approved revisions to policies BCBB, GBC, GBN and GBRA on Feb. 5, 2026, citing changes from the 2025 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature; the motion passed 8-0.
The Claiborne Parish School Board voted unanimously Feb. 5 to approve four policy revisions—BCBB (Notification of School Board Meetings), GBC (Recruitment), GBN (Dismissal of Employees) and GBRA (Employee Conduct)—that the superintendent said resulted from the 2025 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature.
Superintendent Brooks requested the board adopt the revisions. Board member Linda Knox moved to approve the policies and Roy Mardis seconded; the motion passed 8 yes, 0 no. Present voting members were Patricia Stevens, Stewart Griffin, William Maddox, Linda Knox, Yolanda Coleman, Perry Anderson, Roy Mardis and David Nokes.
Board materials linked the changes to legislative action in 2025 but did not list specific statute citations in the minutes. The board did not record additional debate or amendments during the meeting.
The approval updates district policy language on meeting notifications, staff recruitment and employee dismissal and conduct to align with the cited legislative session. The board did not set an implementation date in the minutes; staff follow-up on effective dates and administrative guidance was not specified.
The board moved on to other agenda items after the vote; no further action on these policies was recorded at the Feb. 5 meeting.
