August 25 2026 OPSB Budget & Finance Committee Meeting

The Orleans Parish School Board Budget and Finance Committee convened on August 25, 2026, to discuss various financial and procurement matters. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of contract amendments for student transportation services totaling over $1.2 million, managed services agreement extensions with Attain Partners at no additional cost, and contracts for special education and evaluation services with annual amounts up to $750,000. The board also considered capital improvement projects such as a roof replacement at L.S. Marcellus Junior School with a base bid of $763,605 and a sewer line replacement at Abramson School, both moving forward for full board approval. Additionally, the committee reviewed a donation of shoes and sweatshirts valued at $11,070 for Leah Chase School and discussed reallocating startup funds for the same school, though the motion to reallocate approximately $2.9 million failed. The board approved resolutions related to millage levies and compliance questionnaires and addressed amendments to risk management consulting contracts to align contract periods. Several motions were passed to move these items to the full board for final consideration, reflecting ongoing budget management and procurement oversight within the school district.
