Tangi Schools Policy Committee 7 28 26

The Tangipahoa Parish School System's Policy Committee met on July 28, 2026, to discuss several policy updates and legislative compliance matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the revision of policy DFK concerning the sale of surplus equipment and supplies, which was adopted unanimously. This policy allows the school system to resell used equipment after ensuring all data is securely wiped. Additionally, the committee addressed policies related to employee conduct, emergency and crisis management, and cash handling procedures at school events. A significant discussion focused on the acceptance of cash payments for school activities, with a motion to adopt a recommendation to accept cash in all transactions. However, this was tabled for further review to ensure consistent and secure handling across campuses. The committee also considered updates to bullying and hazing policies, particularly regarding cyberbullying, but deferred adoption pending administrative review and recommendations. Several motions passed unanimously, including amendments to emergency management responsibilities and employee conduct policies, reflecting ongoing efforts to align with legislative changes and improve operational procedures.
