Board names Bogalusa Daily News as official journal; president outlines cost-saving measures
Summary
The board selected the Bogalusa Daily News as its official journal for 2026–27 and the president and an agency official described planned cost-saving measures — a hiring pause for nonessential positions, travel limits, and tighter controls on major purchases and overtime — to respond to revenue pressure from a state executive order.
The board approved designating the Bogalusa Daily News as the official journal for publishing school-board minutes and other legal notices for the 2026–27 school year. Members discussed the paper's publication frequency before the motion passed unopposed.
Following housekeeping items, board leadership and an agency official outlined a district 'state-of-the-district' letter to be published the next day describing steps to address the governor's executive order. Those steps include a halt on nonessential hiring, travel limits for out-of-state conferences, review of major purchases over $10,000, and continued oversight of overtime and extracurricular spending. The administration said it will strive to protect classroom positions while reducing central-office costs and will publish details for the community.
