LPSB - Regular Board Meeting - August 13, 2026

The Lafayette Parish School System held its regular board meeting on August 13, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related items were discussed. Key procurement topics included discussions and approvals related to Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contracts for Broadmoor Wing Edition, Paulborough Elementary and Middle School, and Westside Milton Wing Edition construction projects. The board also reviewed budget-to-actual revisions for fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the voluntary benefits and administrative services contract, where the board debated whether to continue with the current provider, HUB International and AGM Benefits, or switch to Gallagher Benefit Services based on a recent Request for Proposal (RFP). After public comments and board deliberations highlighting concerns about cost savings, service quality, and past experiences, the board voted to continue with the current provider for another year. Additionally, the board voted to disapprove a consent to assign related to an oil and gas mineral lease. Other agenda items included employee job description revisions and discussions on health insurance plans, but no final actions were taken on those during this meeting.
