Monthly Board Meeting - July 1, 2026

The July 1, 2026, monthly board meeting of the LPSD K12 school district included several procurement-related decisions and policy discussions. The board approved multiple contract awards, including KRN Investment LLC for a chiller compressor, Ray Rover for time and attendance system software, and a vendor for security or classroom management software. They also approved change orders totaling over $25,000 for chilled water piping and renovations at the Tibido Learning Center, as well as a low bid contract of $214,000 plus alternates for sanitary piping renovations at Tibido High School. Additionally, the board approved a fee waiver request for the use of Tibido Middle School by Thrive Bayou Region for three years. A significant policy discussion focused on compliance with Louisiana Act 313 regarding student cell phone use during instructional time, with the board ultimately voting to move forward with a policy aligned with state law, restricting phone use during instructional periods but considering allowances during lunch. The meeting also included recognitions, memorial resolutions, and committee reports.
