Summary
At its May 8 meeting, the Tensas Parish School Board heard from Brittanee Gibson about the elimination of Tensas High School football and voted to readvertise the sale of the Newellton football field and fieldhouse after a $35,200 bid was rescinded.
At its May 8, 2025 regular meeting in St. Joseph, the Tensas Parish School Board heard public concern over the elimination of the football program at Tensas High School and voted to readvertise the sale of the Newellton football field and fieldhouse after a previously submitted bid was rescinded.
The board “heard from Ms. Brittanee Gibson concerning the elimination of football at Tensas High School,” according to the meeting record. The transcript does not include Gibson’s full remarks or any direct response from board members recorded in that segment.
Later in the meeting the board voted to readvertise the property sale after the board noted that the bid from Mr. Christopher Burden for $35,200.00 had been rescinded. The readvertisement motion was moved by Mrs. Annice Miller and seconded by Mr. Esaw Turner; the motion passed (vote tally not specified in the record).
The board record does not specify a new timeline for the readvertisement or additional terms for the sale. The decision follows the rescission of the prior bid and clears the way for the board to solicit new offers for the Newellton football field and fieldhouse.
