LPPS Regular Board Meeting 10/1/2026

At the Livingston Parish Public School Board regular meeting on October 1, 2026, the board gave preliminary approval to issue up to $3.5 million in sales tax bonds, with maximum parameters of 6.5% interest over 20 years. The resolution also authorized bond counsel, Government Consultants as municipal adviser, and Stifel as underwriter/placement agent to assist with the financing. The board approved Alvin Faraburn and Associates LLC as professional of record for a four-classroom addition at Seventh Ward Elementary and approved Amendment No. 3 to the ICF disaster-management consulting contract, increasing it by $85,710 for costs described as reimbursable through a FEMA claim. The board also ratified the sole $200 bid for Bid No. 27-02, the sale of a house to be moved.

The board approved the 2026–27 teacher effectiveness and differentiated compensation stipend plan, with a stated total cost of $752,960 and $228,771 in remaining differentiated compensation funds available to help fund it. It also approved committee reports, the monthly financial report, audit-findings update, payment of invoices, and district supplements; the transcript gives no additional procurement details for those items. Other discussion included the annual pupil progression plan and a presentation on parish 4-H programs. Motions on the listed financial and procurement items were approved without recorded opposition.
