WPSS Committee Meeting 11/12/2026

The Washington Parish School Board WPSS Committee meeting on November 12, 2026, reviewed district revenue and expenditure reports. Members heard that local revenue and sales-tax collections were up compared with the prior year, while the general fund showed declining assets and a steep decline in its stabilization balance. The report listed total general-fund assets of about $13.5 million for September and UBIT account assets and equity of $1.8 million, compared with $1.36 million in September 2025. Members also discussed school water and sewer costs, including a disputed Mount Hermon water bill reported at $78,000, and asked about how utility expenses and allocations differed among schools.

A participant requested the district’s complete annual independent audit and a written explanation of compliance with Louisiana public-disclosure requirements for contracts, vendors, expenditures, disbursements, and payments. Board representatives said audits and other records were available through the district website and that the request would be referred for a response. No contract awards, bids, vendor selections, procurement spending approvals, or votes were identified; the committee adjourned after discussion of revised policies.
