CPSB Special Session | May 19, 2026

The Caddo Parish Public Schools held a special session on May 19, 2026, primarily focused on revising school board policies related to meeting procedures and agenda preparation. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of revisions to Policy BCB, which adjusted speaking times for items on consent agendas and clarified that motions become motions of the body rather than just the maker and seconder. Additionally, revisions to Policy BCD eliminated the executive committee meeting, shifting agenda-setting responsibilities solely to the superintendent and school board president, with agendas to be made public before the first Tuesday of each month. The board voted to approve these policy changes, with some members expressing concerns about reduced public access and communication. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed during this session.
