The Tangipahoa Parish School Board Policy Committee of the Whole met Oct. 21, 2025, to consider three policy revisions: overtime pay for maintenance employees, transfer of a child-nutrition paragraph into Policy EE, and updates to the attendance/absences regulation JBD-R. The committee adopted the overtime and child nutrition revisions and approved an amended change to the attendance regulation (changing parental excused days from 3 to 5 while leaving other revisions in committee pending a consultant review). Debate over attendance centered on protecting teachersprofessional discretion and ensuring changes align with recent state statutes; the committee noted current daily attendance of about 94 percent.
