Iberia Parish School Board Meeting 6/17/2026

The Iberia Parish School Board held a regular meeting on June 17, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed and acted upon. Key procurement actions included the approval of a cooperative endeavor agreement with the Village of Loreauville for a drainage project at Loreauville High campus, and the awarding of a construction contract to E&L Construction Group LLC for gym building repairs and new finishes at Westgate High School, with a contract amount of $292,500 within the project budget. The board also approved the renewal of the district's casualty insurance policies for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, with a total premium of approximately $1.8 million, noting increases due to added vehicles and coverage improvements. Additionally, the board approved a $1 million transfer from the general fund to the self-insurance fund to maintain healthy reserves amid rising healthcare costs. A budget revision request for conference registration fees was discussed but initially failed before the original budget was approved. The meeting also included reports on sales tax collections and health insurance claims, as well as a new attendance incentive program for transportation staff. No other major procurement contracts or purchasing decisions were reported.
