TPSS 6 2 26

The Tangipahoa Parish School System held a board meeting on June 3, 2026, where several procurement and contracting matters were addressed. The board rejected all bids for the OW Dylan Canopy project due to costs exceeding the budget, primarily because of extensive concrete work, and directed the architect to redesign the project to reduce costs before rebidding. They approved the contract award to CTR Construction LLC for the Independence Magnet High School special education room renovation, including ceiling, lighting, air conditioning, and window replacements, for a total of $264,100. Additionally, the board approved the lowest quote from Top Talent Group for a superintendent search following a reissued RFP. The board also selected the Tangi Times as the official journal for 2026-2027, citing its multiple weekly publication schedule. Policy discussions included continuing with the district's existing policies rather than adopting the LSBA model manual. Other agenda items included tabling the 2025 millage rates and entering executive session for legal consultation.
