Board Meeting

Assumption Parish Schools Board meeting, November 4, 2026. The board approved Change Order No. 3 for the Pierpont Elementary walkway canopy project; the discussion described a 28-day contract extension, with a few lights, gate conduits, and cleanup still outstanding. The board received updates on school facility work: the canopy and security fencing were nearly complete, Pierpont gym HVAC work was expected to begin equipment installation in mid-November, and Labontéville Elementary’s gym HVAC renovation was about 80% complete, with substantial completion scheduled for December 15. The board also considered bids for a tennis-court canopy at Assumption High School, but members questioned whether to proceed; the transcript does not clearly capture the final vote or disposition. The lowest-bid project to convert a locker-room area into a boys’ restroom at Assumption High passed an affirmative roll-call vote. The transcript gives inconsistent figures for that project, including approximately $162,000.

The board tabled the proposal to relocate buildings from Labadieville Primary to Assumption High for a boys’ locker room while staff and school administrators look for an alternative campus location; members cited avoiding an approximately $180,000 expense for now, while emphasizing the need to provide facilities for students. The board authorized scheduling a December 16 retreat with LSBA training for newly elected members. No budget item was presented, and the new policy committee reported that it made no recommendations or decisions. In response to a board member’s concern about transportation costs and bus utilization, administration agreed to bring forward route and ridership information for review.
