Board meetings and strategic plans from LaSalle Parish School District
The committee received an update from the Maintenance Department regarding the completion of summer projects and staffing needs. They discussed and recommended to the Full Board the authorization of a spray foam insulation project for the Olla Elementary School gymnasium to address a fire marshal citation, with an option to halt the project if an appeal is successful. The committee also recommended approval for the purchase of concrete materials to support stadium improvements at Jena High School, while noting concerns regarding the need for a formal private donor improvement policy and board oversight in future projects.
The Finance Committee discussed several key items, including the review of financial and related reports for fiscal year 2025-26 and 2026-27. A major topic was the proposed 2026-27 budget, which faces challenges due to state-ordered MFP funding changes and projected insurance cost increases. The committee recommended advertising the budget for public inspection and hearing. Additionally, approval was recommended for a one-year grounds maintenance contract with US Lawns for high school campuses, and a lease agreement for the Jena High School Auditorium was approved for an economic development event.
The committee received an update from the Curriculum & Instruction Department, noting recognition from the LDOE regarding strong Kindergarten student performance and upcoming district recognition at the BESE meeting.
