# Tangi Schools Cap Outlay 10 20 26

At the Tangipahoa Parish School System capital outlay meeting on October 21, 2026, staff reviewed first-quarter purchase-order reports covering purchases over $10,000, maintenance, and capital outlay. Board members asked about portable-building expenses, including orders exceeding $100,000 at some schools and roughly $40,000 at others; staff clarified that the figures were purchase orders, not necessarily payments for a single month or quarter. Members discussed plans for phases two and three of capital work, which staff said could eliminate about 80% of the district’s portable buildings, with projects affecting schools including Loranger, Ponchatoula, Champ Cooper, Independence, and Nisemore.

The report included a $2.6 million purchase order to Guy Hopkins Construction for Verata security access systems and cameras at Sumner and Kentwood, with installations also underway or completed at other high schools. Staff also reported that campuswide roof replacement work was underway, with materials on site and construction active. No contract award, spending approval, or formal vote is clearly recorded in the transcript; a member suggested bringing a security project back to the board, but no motion is confirmed.
