Tangi Schools 9 1 26

The Tangipahoa Parish School System held a school board meeting on September 16, 2026, which included approval of previous meeting minutes and recognition awards. A significant portion of the meeting focused on financial updates, including the adoption of the 2026-2027 annual operating budget and an amendment to the salary schedule to provide a one-time stipend to all employees funded by a $6 million surplus from the prior fiscal year. The board discussed the positive financial management that led to this surplus, the timing of stipend payments, and the importance of maintaining a healthy reserve fund. Additionally, the meeting highlighted the summer internship program's success and ongoing educational initiatives. No new procurement contracts or vendor selections were discussed, but budget allocations and financial stewardship were key topics. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter executive session for legal matters.
