# Monthly Board Meeting

The DeSoto Parish School Board’s regular monthly meeting was held November 5, 2026. The main procurement-related item was a proposed disposition of approximately 2.72 acres of unused, wooded school-district property at 1915 MacArthur Drive in Mansfield, adjacent to Mansfield Elementary/Middle School. Unit 5 Fiber approached the district about the parcel; the administration said the transaction could put the property to use, support services benefiting the district, and return value to the district. The board considered declaring the property surplus and authorizing the superintendent to execute the sale, then voted by show of hands; the vote result and sale price were not discernible in the transcript. No contract amount was stated.

The board also approved the finance and operating committee report and approved policy KSA, Public Conduct on School Property. The transcript contains no other identifiable contract awards, solicitations, or spending approvals. The meeting also included staff recognitions and school updates.
