St. Bernard Parish School Board - Regular Monthly Board Meeting - July 28, 2026 (HD)

The St. Bernard Parish School Board held its regular monthly meeting on July 28, 2026. The meeting included recognition of student achievements, retirements, and new appointments within the school district. Key procurement-related discussions focused on the approval of bid tabulations for a new cultural arts storage facility at Shelmet High School. The initial low bidder withdrew due to a mathematical error, leading the board to approve the contract award to the second lowest bidder, Godson Construction, for the construction and outfitting of a 2,400 square foot air-conditioned building. The board also approved the 2026-2027 student athletic insurance bid and transportation routes. Additionally, updates were provided on ongoing capital improvement projects, including the transformation of the former public library into classrooms and the progress on the Andrew Jackson Middle School building, which is ahead of schedule for the school year opening. The meeting concluded with budget-to-actual financial statements and preparations for the upcoming school year.
