CPSB: Policy Review Committee Meeting | November 10, 2026 | 2:30pm

The Caddo Parish Public Schools Policy Review Committee met on November 10, 2026, to review three policies. The committee recommended forwarding the payroll policy (DJC) to the full board for a vote, with an effective date of January 1, 2027. The revision would allow payroll to be issued on the last business day before a holiday or weekend, including during school breaks, rather than paying employees early and leaving a longer gap until the next check. Members discussed communicating the change to staff and the effect of changing the schedule midyear. The motion carried.

The committee also voted to forward policies JCDB and IFA to the board as recommended by staff. JCDB would establish a basic uniform option—khaki pants or shorts and a white shirt—for students transferring between schools, intended to reduce attendance problems and avoid added costs for families. IFA consolidates guidance on instructional materials, including library materials, and outlines parents’ access to materials and the process for raising concerns and requesting reconsideration. No procurement activity, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.
