Votes at a glance: minutes approved, contracts awarded, student reinstated
Summary
The board approved prior minutes, adopted a CFO salary range of $102,090–$120,000, awarded multiple one‑year contracts (plumbing supplies, bus parts, property insurance), authorized advertising for field‑lighting bids, and reinstated a student after a closed expulsion appeal.
Several routine and substantive board votes were recorded at the Feb. 10 meeting, including personnel approvals, procurement awards and a student discipline outcome.
Minutes and personnel: The board approved minutes from four January meetings on a Wallace motion (8 yeas). The Board approved a new Staff Accountant job description on a Sanders motion and later adopted a substitute motion to set the Chief Financial Officer salary range at $102,090 to $120,000 (substitute mover: Schum; second: DeFrancesch; vote recorded 8 yeas).
Procurements and contracts: The Board voted to award one‑year contracts to the lowest responsive bidders for plumbing supplies (Southern Pipe & Supplies) and bus parts (Kenworth). It also approved a one‑year property insurance contract with Louisiana Insurance Agency; the minutes record this year’s premium as $2,628,356 and include a prior‑year figure in the text that appears to be a transcription formatting error.
Facilities: The Board gave approval to advertise for bids for field lighting at West St. John High School; All South Engineers estimated an approximate cost of $150,000 and mid‑July completion if approved.
Student discipline: After convening in closed session for Student Expulsion Appeal No. 2022‑01, the Board reconvened and voted (mover: Holden; second: Burl) to reinstate the student to in‑person learning subject to Child Welfare and Attendance stipulations. The recorded vote was 7 yeas; Schum recused.
Roll calls and outcomes: The minutes record each motion’s roll call totals where provided. Where motions were adopted, the minutes list roll call affirmative votes and absent members.
