Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, School Board Meets on the 12th to Discuss Litigation, Pay and a New Phone Rule for Exams
The Lafayette Parish School Board is set to hold its regular meeting on Thursday, November 12, with an agenda including several items that could have lasting effects on district finances and daily operations. According to a November 12 report in The Daily Advertiser of Lafayette, the board will discuss behind closed doors potential litigation arising from the Southside High School concession stand project, involving the district, Stutz Construction and National Mutual Insurance; two workers' compensation matters are also on the closed-session agenda.
On pay, the board is expected to approve a revised salary schedule for the 2026-2027 school year, formally incorporating the previously approved $2,000 state stipend. The board will also consider a reimbursement resolution allowing future bond proceeds to repay the Economic Stability Fund for money it advanced to the Ovey Comeaux Workforce Innovation Academy project. On testing policy, the board is expected to approve revisions to its Policy No. 2 on examinations, aligning it with Louisiana Bulletin 111, Section 5316, with a focus on rules for students' cellphone use during exams. The meeting also includes recognitions and routine business.
