# Ouachita Parish School Board Meeting Live Stream - November 10, 2026

At the November 10, 2026, Ouachita Parish School Board meeting, the board approved a $579,400 bid recommendation for West Monroe High School cafeteria renovations, including two alternates; the contractor was not identified in the transcript. The board also approved Molly Underwood as the architectural firm for the cafeteria project and granted permission to bid on a West High School cafeteria renovation with a $975,000 budget funded by West Sales Tax. For Riverbend restroom renovations, the district reported a November 17 pre-bid meeting and a December 3 bid opening through Architect Alliance. Ice-storm repairs to gutters, awnings, and canopies were reported as being handled through TBA.

The board voted to recommend terminating Neighbors Incorporated’s industrial tax exemption after reports that two contracts remained out of compliance and the promised production, jobs, and payroll had not materialized; the state board makes the final decision. The construction report also said the Richwood upper elementary project was awaiting the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ wetlands direction, following completion of the traffic study. The meeting included a September financial report, but no other specific procurement spending decisions were identified.
