TPSS Board 11 10 26

The Tangipahoa Parish School System Board meeting, held November 11, 2026 (the transcript also references November 10), approved the selection of ELOS Environmental LLC for environmental services following an RFP review; the committee’s recommendation received a unanimous roll-call vote. The board also approved the low bid from McLenn Construction LLC for a Chesro Elementary classroom addition at $2,970,000. Members noted the project was below its original $4 million budget and discussed site work and parking needs. The board unanimously approved declaring surplus several school buses, food-service vans, and a forklift for an online auction scheduled for November 21, 2026.

Approval of a proposed Martha Vineyard bus-pickup canopy—estimated at $94,000 for the higher-quality option—was tabled until the next meeting so members could review product images and specifications. Other discussion included the upcoming release of school accountability scores, teacher recruitment, Veterans Day recognition, and school activities. No additional procurement awards or spending votes were identified.
