School board approves millage rates and a package of contracts and insurance renewals
Summary
The St. Bernard Parish School Board unanimously adopted 2026 millage rates and approved multiple bid tabulations, RFP awards, an HVAC project and flood insurance renewal; several routine procurement motions passed on voice votes.
The St. Bernard Parish School Board adopted the district’s 2026 millage rates and approved a series of procurement and risk-management items during its May 26 meeting.
The board adopted the 2026 millage rates on a motion recommended by committee; the motion passed unanimously, with no member recorded as opposed. At the same meeting the board approved a renewal of the district’s flood insurance policies following a committee recommendation.
Members also approved multiple contract awards and RFP results for the 2026–27 fiscal year, including the official journal contract, painting and body repairs, fuel and lubricant supplies, custodial supplies, solid-waste collection and disposal services, library book purchases and ELA supplemental workbooks. The board approved a construction procurement to replace HVAC equipment at Andrew Jackson and accepted other committee recommendations.
Vote tallies recorded in the transcript were predominantly unanimous (10–0). One item, the custodial supplies bid, was transcribed with a vote notation of "10 2"; the transcript did not clarify whether that reflects an abstention, a typographical error or another procedural notation.
The board president said most items had been vetted at committee and carried the committee’s recommendation to the full board. These approvals clear contracts and authorizations for the 2026–27 fiscal year so vendors can proceed with scheduled work and supply delivery.
