001meeting July 14th, 2025. Mr. Mlasha >> here. >> Miss Roy >> here. Mr. Tuier >> here. >> You have a quorum. Mr. Tier. >> All right. First item up on the agenda. Discuss and approve the Iville Parish School Board monthly. Sorry. Our committee meetings are broadcasted live. To access the stream, there is a video icon located in the online meeting agenda and also there is a link located on our district website, Facebook and X. All right. Discuss and approved parish school board monthly financial statements including the income statement and the revenue and expense summary by fund through June 25. The reports include a comparison of budget to actual for each fund, including a percent to go per budgeted account within the funds. Mr. Stewart. All right. Good evening, board members and and guest. Um, we've
002today we actually received $2.4 million to be allocated towards fiscal year 25. The majority of that was sales and use taxes. Uh, we're actively working to to close out the fiscal year, which will be mostly in period 13. Um you should be seeing those numbers in the next month. Um by tomorrow we plan on closing out and and putting forth all the reimbursements for the grants which also will go towards period 13. Uh as well as closing out the fiscal year by August 15. >> All right. Uh expectations of revenue versus what we got in a general fund. How's that look? Um we we should receive including this $2.4 million. Um roughly I think five to seven more million dollars. We'll be within our 5% variance. Um but we we should hit our target on
003revenue. >> All right. We'll be five to seven below the expectation or above. >> I mean right now the way it's set we should hit the expectation or be slightly above. >> Okay. And what's the current general fund balance? >> Hold on. I would have to pull that for you, but I can email it to you. >> Okay, perfect. >> Any other comments from the audience? Comments from the board? All right. Uh, all in favor? I >> I I update in relation to audit finding within the AUP report, Mr. Stewart. >> All right. The construction and progress report. Um it it's tedious and at times cumbersome. So we've been meeting and the auditors we had a finding uh last uh fiscal year and so we've been meeting uh regularly in order to both have that
004document updated consistently throughout the year as well as understand uh when substantial completions will will happen um and to make sure that what maintenance has recorded uh ties with alio and what I have recorded in that report. Uh we plan on meeting again in the next coming weeks to kind of talk about year- end close out where we were on certain projects and expected substantial completions. And that's that's my uh report for the AU report. >> All right. Comments, questions from the audience, from the board. I got a motion to adjurnn. Motion >> motion by M Roy, second by Mr. Mlash.

Um we've got pricing from an engineer for the price of the project, but we're going to get quotes. um elementary school. Uh we did get a price back for the perimeter fence and we are finalizing the contract for that and we have a a target date of September one for completion of that. Um let's see MSA East Academy we are waiting on aluminum fence quote and the project is designed See, and MSA West Academy, the um prek and admin area, they have the um a lot of the finishes are done. The exterior finishes are done. The um uh interior block fill first coat is 100%

And I'm we're looking at a date of December 3rd for that admin area. The MSA West driveway improvements, um both sides of the road have been poured. Um the contractor is also going to do some site improvements as far as parking lot striping, pressure washing, and fence on the on the um site. And I have a date of July 28th for that project. See, Northville Elementary High School projects, uh that job's coming along well. We we've got um the MEP rough in is ongoing. Um a lot of that is finished. We um
011the exterior building exterior of the building uh is largely completed. Um the inside we're going to they're going to start doing the floors, doors and hardware and MEP trim out. And they just tied in permanent power uh this afternoon. new softball fields. Um that project uh is currently roughly 85 90% waiting on energy. Um once energy turns on power, uh the contractor should be able to finish up reasonably quickly and they have to put in some um still have to put in some windows. see the new football and track and field. >> Sure. >> Sorry. >> So, where you putting windows on the >> Oh, he's just waiting. He's waiting on some windows to come in on the uh concession >> on a concession stand. Okay. I'm thinking softball field. Okay. Where we putting windows?
012All right. Thank you. >> No problem. Okay. The football projects come along well. Um they've uh obviously get got the uh turf field installed. The the track is installed. Um it's ready for ready for asphalt. Press box structure is up. They u do have waterproofing. Um the decking is completed. Uh the new weight room is constructed. They are framing out the interior walls and roughing in on MEP. Um, see, visitor side bleachers, all that's 100%. Um, still have some sight work, some fence work, and concrete work to do. And let's see on the plaque high school, we have a parking lot improvement. Um, most of the demo is complete with that. They're doing um compaction and fill and form work. There is some slight delays with the weather recently. Um let's see. I do have
013a completion date of 919 for that project. Um the plaque of high kitchen renovation is off to a good start as well. The contractor has completed most of the demo inside. Um all the floors are demoed, the ceiling is demoed. They saw cut the slab for the new um MEP rough uh mechanical rough end of plumbing rough in and um let's see I have a they're also completing the uh temporary canopy for the temporary kitchens right now. So temporary kitchens will be delivered u towards the end of this month. uh have a completion date of uh January for that project. And let's see, White Castle High School band room is in the design phase. Um and then the central office complex. Um the HVAC system is completed. They're they're doing some test and balance on
014it. Um I believe people are moved back into that building. and multicampus greenhouse project. Um I think that's on hold for now. So >> we're looking at >> want to follow up with a few items. The greenhouse project is that whole thing is going to have to be put off a bid. Uh so we will be coming back in the the near future to request the advertisement for those. We just got a couple of locations at a couple of the sites to get finalized. Uh but we'll be coming back to you with that. Also, the pressure washing has already been gone on. If you recall, we uh awarded a contractor who came in extremely great in terms of pricing. He did keep those prices again for this summer. Uh Ibraville Elementary Crescent, White Castle, Dorsyville
015already done. Uh and he's going to get the rest of them done as well. Placman High and MSA West is probably going to be delayed because of the construction that's going on on those sites. >> Same price. >> Yes. >> Good. That's great. >> Got a question. Uh Crescent Elementary, the library, the floor, was that always supposed to be carpeted tile or I thought it was supposed to be hard floor. >> Um as far as I know, we priced the U Kiniteex flooring, which is a it's a synthetic type of floor. It's very similar to carpet. >> Okay. Cuz I walked through that the other day and I saw it was carpet and I was under impression it was supposed to be hard floor. >> It It's a product that Mr. Kagnali had found through
016a flooring contractor as they looked at the types. This one is not the same materials of a carpet. It looks more like a carpet and it's recommended in band rooms and in libraries in particular because of the acoustics and not having the echoes and such. But this carpet is supposed to be where they're going with those types of rooms at this point. And it's made more of a plastic material, not your traditional carpet. So it's kind of we we're checking it out, testing it out to see whether or not that becomes the standards of those types of spaces in the district. >> Sure. Miss Miss Williams grass cutting on East Side River >> over next month. We're trying to finalize the uh bid pack well the RFP. Those are our requests for proposals because there's
017more than price that gets involved with that. Okay. >> Uh, also ABS has been doing uh the custodial work at MSA West and Plman High and the evenings for a number of years. We're putting both of those out for requests for proposals. >> Okay. And uh something I would like for us to consider uh the paint job is beautiful over East. Um every time I walk in, I see something pops. It looks good. I got to give y'all that. We may want to consider doing paint at all the schools to give them a new facelift. Even on the outside, if you put some colors in the different schools on the outside that let the people know this is a school and the kids see these different colors, they're going to want to parents going to
018want to bring them there. But we need to uplift all the schools. So may want to consider getting some bids out because I got to give it to you. It's beautiful. >> We have done a number of paint jobs in elementaryaries and tar walls, everything on the inside of it painted. We've added Crescent. >> We've added a number of campuses. Okay. >> So, that has been ongoing. >> Okay. >> Uh and those are where we we put out uh requests for qualifications and proposals and it's mostly coming from local painting contracts, >> but it looks good and you know it makes you feel good when you walk through the school and see that these colors >> and you got the color that uh that East has now. >> Yes. We gone from burgundy to red
019and I love it. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> Thank you. >> Yes. I have a few questions. Okay. So, one of the things that I'm asking and I've asked before to consider getting the 15 passenger vans for our schools, especially our small schools. >> Yeah. So, we brought >> and I never heard anything else about it. We brought to you a a policy that was probably about two years ago for approval that federal regulations require even a van to have all of the same, I guess, bells and whistles and features that a school bus would have. So, we can look at pricing when it comes to those, but they're supposed to have and and and Evan's nodding his head there. He may know a little bit more than I do, but >> well,
020why do so many schools have >> repeat? I think some schools had things prior to this new and this is from the National Department of Transportation, isn't it? >> Yeah. Now, they just passed a uh a law this last session about vehicles eight people and smaller that they might be an option to use. But uh it's been our understanding that that most boards uh their insurance companies won't even insure 15 passenger vans just due to safety issues that go along with them. But yeah, the the default rule uh that Dr. W War V War Wro is uh referencing is that basically any any time you're transporting children, it either has to be in a school bus or a vehicle that has all the safety features, bells and whistles of a school bus, which no other
021vehicle is going to meet that requirement except for a school bus. Um, so you know, people have gotten creative uh to find ways to transport students, especially like in, you know, in small situations. But, uh, I know that that is one we've run into several times on the 15 passenger vans. But you can always ask your insurance and see what they say. But, you know, other boards have been told no. So, it wasn't even a question on whether they could do it or not. >> So, what would be comparable to the 15 passion? just smaller vehicles essentially. Uh I mean there's nothing you know you can transport vehic people in smaller cars, passenger cars. Now that's something that you know you always want to do parental cons. >> Oh like a SUV >> perhaps there
022again this law just came about this last session so we're still trying to figure out as well. It almost is >> you going to check into it? Yeah, we'll be checking into it. But >> we we just have a problem like on the east side of transporting kids and having to to run a school bus for six kids. >> For five kids. >> I mean, yeah. Five kids. That that makes no sense. >> Y >> So the coaches end up having to go make two trips if there's, you know, say eight or 10 because you can't let them ride in the back of the truck anymore. Even though it's my son did it. kids hanging all over. But and then so now we're trying to get these kids to practice and and it's it's difficult.
023>> Do we have smaller bus? Do they have smaller buses? I mean, this is that's just crazy. >> We'll research it. Who made that law? >> On the the latest law, there are buses that are smaller. We can price those and come back with you with with those. [Music] Okay. And one more thing. >> Sure. >> About uh fencing, Katherine. What are we talking about fencing? >> Um Eastville need to be uh fenced because it's not sur the fence don't go all the way around the building in the front. And I took pictures. I just need to forward it to them. And uh o I know they working on the fence at math and science, but east of need to be closed in. >> So where is it at east? Cuz I went and looked.
024I couldn't figure out where >> uh on the side where the cane field is. It got this wing with the doors right there where the plant sit the plant plant planters with the vegetables. That door is not covered. >> And the other door on the right hand side when you first drive through. >> Oh yeah. Yeah. >> Cuz that's where they was put putting the new furnished on the elementary side and anybody could go through them doors. You know what I'm talking about? >> Yeah. >> We'll go in and look. There's a lot of fencing. We'll look for any areas maybe gaps. I know that while that construction was going on, there was an access part there as far as the fencing back there. >> But that's to the back, >> right? Yeah, but the
025field's all locked back there. We'll need to check >> the front. Yeah, the front. >> Yeah, we can look at that. Right. Make a note. >> I think that's it. >> Right. >> Any other comments? Oh, one more. I'm sorry. >> Okay. >> Um timeline on East Everville Greenhouse. >> That's all in that phase to determine locations first and to go off a bid. You know, our plan is to get it done this after. >> Do you That's what I'm asking. Do you Did you find a location or y'all still looking? >> They're still trying to determine the best location at that particular campus. That's one of them. That north, we got construction going on and we got to determine that. >> Uh the ideal place to put the one at east may not be
026enough space, which puts it closer on the high school side to where the actual classroom is. We actually have more space for it on the opposite side, right? >> So that we're trying to hash out at east is just location. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Thank you, >> Dr. B. >> The um pipe in the welding class. I knew he brought it up um how looking for the fire. >> Well, the the next item, so the fire marshall did go and as far as that side of it is not as comprehensive as what we thought it might be. >> Okay. However, Evan is working with Energy. Evan Kagaletti is working with Energy to determine the exact type of power and capacity of power to run those machines. >> That's going to determine a time frame because
027if it requires certain types of transformers, the lead time on some of those are like over 400 days. >> Yeah. over here. >> So, you know, we're working out the classroom side of it with with Dr. Skidmore on that end. We've been in conversation with Eastville, Inc. over there who want to support us. >> Uh the cost of the equipment itself is not the issue. Now, the thing is the electrical capacity to be able to run those machines. >> Okay. So, will we be able to start some classes in the fall? Just in classes? We could potentially start in-class stuff, but if we know that we're out for over a year to be able to actually set a lab up, then it really wouldn't benefit the kids because they wouldn't be able to finish the
028course. So, right now, we're kind of waiting on the power side of it. If we can get that done without that crazy lead time, then it could possibly be done first semester classroom, second semester in the the lab. Shocked. uh >> but right now we're wait the electrical component to find out if the equipment that's needed. >> Okay. Any other comments? I just asked question about the second floor. See it's 50% design. >> That was just the design, you know, right? We we still haven't we still haven't sold plaza and all yet and to you all for the major projects for this school year. Making sure we fit within the budget that we want to fit in for the year. But they've got a general and we might be a little more than 50% on
029that. Uh we really haven't messed with that in a little while. >> Comments. Okay. Next agenda item. discuss and approve accepting the low bid of 5,600,000 from Jones Construction Solution and increasing the budget to reflect the low bid amount for the East Iberville Baseball and Softball Complex. The budget is 5 million. May I have a motion, please? >> Miss SL and I'll second it. >> Any George, >> I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Miss George. I'm sorry. >> Okay. Um, >> I I would like to comment first and then Brad and and David are here if they need to come in. >> Okay. >> Uh, I'm recommending that we go ahead and accept that bid. I sent you all an email about that last week when the bids all came back in on this particular project. Uh,
030you know, when we spoke to you all at the retreat, we talked about these are the projects that we're looking at for this year. This one kind of got pushed up a little bit earlier. Not earlier, but first now, partially because of the fire that took place in the building that's over there now. Uh however, >> well, we found that out later on, you know, that there's some issues over there with abatement that needs to get done and to the cost to remediate that wouldn't just wouldn't even make sense to do, you know. So, this project includes space for uh the dressing room, locker rooms, and all for baseball and softball, which when you originally uh approved your long-term planning list back in May of 2023, at the time there was a budget for this,
031but there was also $3 million or $300,000 to deal with renovating that particular building for locker room space, which that would not be enough anyway to try to remediate that building and it's really not worth remediating. Uh Brad and and and David kept telling me 5 a.5 million and I kept telling them, Lori, try to get it to five. You know, we want to make sure we're we're being reasonable with pricing. So, I will tell you from what they estimated originally was $5.5 million for that project. And this only puts it at a h 100,000 over what they originally estimated. I wanted the 5 million to try to make sure that we're stretching things a little further. Once I saw these bids, first off, I I think we had 12 or so dozen or so
032contractors that showed up for uh the pre-bid meeting on this. Some of them chose were subs basically for others and really didn't have the capacity to do this kind of fullcale job. When I saw these and I look at number one, two, three, and four, I mean, there was only one outlier here where there's four that are that close to one another, then that tells me these bids are pretty good. I mean, one of them was only what, $1,000, you know, difference in in quotes. Uh so I'm recommending that we uh accept as is adjust budget to accommodate for that because if there's enough items to pull out to get to the five you you're going to end up putting them back in anyway later on more than likely that's kind of been the history
033and it's going to cost more if that occurs you know and I'll let David and and and Brad comment on anything with these bids. Yeah, I I can kind of echo what Dr. V was saying. Uh we originally looked at this project. We will it started in about $6 million range, dropped it to about 5.5, and to get it to the five, we were stripping quality, and I don't think that's what we want to do is to strip quality uh on this at all. So, when we went through the bid process uh on here, there was a couple of things that we did add to the project, which I thought brought some value that we originally didn't look at. We were looking at putting a limestone parking lot there instead of concrete. So, we changed
034it to concrete that added a little bit more. Uh we added some masonry to the buildings where it was metal panels, which I think is going to add durability as well. Um I can tell you that the lowest bidder on here did do work for us last summer. They did the concession stands at East and White Castle which we did have some issues but it was time uh that was caused by unforeseen conditions. They ended up getting the job done on those satisfactory. So >> I just have a question. Um on the colored one the bleachers are on just one set up on the Let me see if I can get to it. There's only one set behind behind home plate, but on one it has bleachers on each side of the colored one. >>
035Right. So, um, originally we were going to salvage both sets, but it was determined that one set was inadequate. So, Evan directed us to go ahead and have uh because the one that's in better shape on the baseball field is fairly new. Yeah, we know that the the hurricane was what took that one out. >> Gotcha. So, the idea was to um to replace the bleachers on the softball field with a new set to match those that are u up to up to speed and and matching. >> But you only have one set behind the >> it. It's one set, but it matches and it actually exceeds the quantity of seating that was there previously. >> Home and visitor share bleacher. >> So, home and visitor share bleacher. They do the the idea behind it
036and talking with everybody was to have the seating behind a home plate and then as is kind of the nature nowadays with baseball and softball, people bring chairs, >> bring their own chairs, >> they can have the seating uh along each baseline behind the back stop. >> Okay. >> Just and we did meet with the coaches. Uh it kind of like same thing at Plman High. They wanted that area along the sidelines for uh people to bring chairs and and that type of stuff. >> Uh so it's in line with that. But they did meet with the coaches uh athletic director, principal and all at >> east to to review that and they because I asked why don't put bleaches on there and they're like no we wanted to have people spread out and be
037able to bring chairs that they want to come in. >> Okay, I'm good with that. I just was wondering. >> Sure. It was different on two different things. >> Okay. Any other comments? >> Where's the extra money coming from? General fund. >> Yes, that would come from general fund >> because last we talked uh at the retreat, we needed to watch our spending and what have you and uh general fund to kind of build it back up. >> Yes. >> Uh this is 12% over the budget. So, this is the first of all of the projects that we put up for the 2526 school year, and we'll make adjustments as needed along the way to make sure we stay within that budget. There's some of them that wouldn't be coming up until spring for uh
038advertisement for bid as it is. And we'll know come January what we're looking at with the property tax revenues for the 25 assessment year which we collect in 26. So we've got some time to work through budget. >> Okay. >> Any other comments? Doc, when when we first um came up with this number, $5 million, was that before we knew that it we had issues with the locker rooms >> that needed to be >> Yes, that bar occurred after. >> Okay. Okay. And and that why Brad and them figured out, hey, this is probably $5.5 million. >> There's additional building construction that has to take place. you know, the original plan from was the baseball softball field and and all of that stuff that goes with that. And then 300,000 was going to be out
039there to allocate on top of what was going to be allocated for that for the locker rooms and and office space. So, technically, there would have been a request to go out a bid to renovate the building that we now need to tear down. pay out on that building or >> I think we made the claim but the damage and the value of the building I don't know if the deductible wouldn't have been more than that and then that wouldn't have been wouldn't have covered abatement because that wouldn't have been a liability insurance claim. >> That's a that's a whole building. That building but was my my mom and dad's cafeteria. >> Wow. >> That's a I kind of put that building in the same category as when we discussed Northville with the building G
040that was over there. You know, I mean, at some point there's some places that need to go. We talked the last, I don't know, eight, nine months or so. And then at the retreat about Crescent, you know, and we're getting everybody out of that prek building because of the same type of situation where it it's just time for it to go. And that's the case with that building. is the case at Crescent with that early childhood where prek is and that was the case at North as well. >> Yeah. Because you would have spent 300,000 and still had an old building with just an inside remodel. So you're going to end up with your new locker rooms and everything that's going to be part of this facility that's going to be nice new and then
041you can actually use the area where you tear the building down. We know we need future parking there in the future anyway. So >> Okay. Thanks. Doc, you know, sometimes at the end of these projects, you have some unforeseen cost and you know, with it being 12% over budget, now let's just say it bumps over 20%. Do do you have any concerns that we we would have issues with the budget with future projects? >> I I don't have concerns today. You know, uh, one of the parts that's really good with that particular project is it's going into the existing area where the baseball and softball fields currently are. Plen high, there's unforeseen things. You were going into a whole brand new place where there was nothing. So, you kind of expect some things to happen
042like that. Uh, north, it went into an area where there was nothing. And right off the bat, we had to do change orders. that cost a little money because there was some infrastructure under the ground that nobody knew was there that had to move the the building. Uh this one where you're going into an area that already has those baseball softball fields and all there and some electrical, you know, capacity that's already in existence. I'm not as concerned as I am with other projects where, you know, you really don't know what's under the ground that you started from Earth, you know, where nothing was there. Uh, I would have more concern probably when, you know, White Castle may come one day in the future if that land is acquired because that would be going on
043a sugarcane field uh in in land that we have nothing on right now, which like I said that that's what happened with the baseball softball one at Plaqueman High, a brand new plot of land that had nothing on it. >> Okay, any other questions, comments? Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you. Okay. All in favor? I. >> Miss George, you want to make a motion to adjurnn, please? >> Okay. Ajourned. Thank you. and welcome to the Parish School Board meeting.

Miss Miller, >> thank you. Capturing Kids Hearts National Showcase Schools and Districts are recognized for their
047excellence in creating safe and welcoming environments where students are relationally connected and eager to learn. The CKH program promotes practices such as greeting students daily, sharing good things between students and teachers, using social contracts, and launching students and staff at the end of a class or a meeting with a positive message to promote self-managing students and classrooms. Research supports that CK approach to social and emotional well-being, relationshipdriven culture, and student connectedness. To be considered for the Capturing Kids Hearts National Showcase Schools and District Award, campuses must demonstrate a high level of performance and a positive learning environment. The selection process is rigorous and it includes measuring key performances indicators. This includes looking for measurable improvements in attendance, academic performance, discipline referrals, and school culture. gathering campus data and surveying staff and students. Award-winning campuses and
048districts also show that they build a safe and welcoming climate, foster creative learning environments, promote relational relationships between students, teachers, and staff, and have the majority of teachers have gone through the foundational CKH1 training. We are proud to recognize the following schools as CKH National Showcase Schools. Crescent Elementary, East Ibberville Elementary and High, MSA East, MSA West Elementary Middle and High, North Iberville High, and White Castle High School.

050feel like this is a step in the right direction and I'm really excited to get started. Thank you. >> Thank you. [Applause] The third item on the agenda is presentation of the fins program by Mrs. Garcia Treyan Burggeron, fins coordinator. >> Hi, thank you'all so much for having me today. My name is Gracie Bajallon. I am the director of the 18th JDC fence program and I am here today to just tell y'all a little bit about what it is that we do since y'all are a part of the stakeholders that are funding our program. Um, and there we go. Um, so just to I'll keep it really brief today because I know y'all have some other things y'all need to attend to. Um, but just to give y'all a quick rundown of what I'm going
051to talk about today is just giving y'all some information about fins as well as some information on recenty data and how we are going about addressing that in this next upcoming school year. Um, so essentially we work with what is called status offenders. That is a crime that only a child can commit. And for the purposes of the school system um we essentially work with just truent kids and kids who have frequent violations of school rules and the purpose of fins is to find out kind of what the why is behind the behavior. So we have identified um three different reasonings behind why a child may be truent. That is barriers to attending school. So maybe the bus doesn't go all the way down to the end of their street or maybe they don't have
052uh clean water in the home to wash their clothes. That is something that we would help the families address is getting past those barriers. Um another reasoning would be um disengagement from school. Maybe a child is unable to read in the high at the high school level or maybe they're facing some bullying at school. Those are some different things that we would work with the families on to help them get past so that they could attend school. And finally is aversions to school. So that may be because of anxiety or mental health problems. These are also things that the fence office is addressing with our families in our in our community. Um that is a list of other common grounds that we attend to in the fence program. Um what it what what sets us
053aside from other programs of the sort are that our grounds are outlined in the law. So if you don't meet these requirements then you unfortunately can't be in the program. But like I said for y'all purposes really it's just truency and behavior in the schools. Um a little bit about the fins process. So once we receive a referral, we do an intake with the families to get an understanding of the why behind the behavior. And from there, we partner with the different community stakeholders um in helping the families get past whatever barrier, aversion, or disengagement problem that they are having. And we create what's called a service plan with the families. These service plans can go up to a year and we monitored compliance throughout that time. with the families and helping them resolve their
054problematic behaviors. Um, our program is a part of the 18th JDC, so we do cover it, West Baton Rouge, and Point Cap. And we have our lovely supervising judge here with us today, Elizabeth Engolio. Um, we are very lucky to have their support and support uh of agencies like y'alls who have provided us funding to keep this this program afloat. Um but yeah, that for the most part that's kind of the gist of the fence process. Um so here is some truency data that I was able to pull from the Louisiana Department of Education across the tri parish. So this is actually a truency median um as opposed to an average. That's the only data that I was able to pull that would be parallel across the three parishes. So, as you can see, Iville
055Parish, we're sitting sitting right at 43%. And on the next slide, I'm going to tell y'all a little bit about what we're doing to resolve that. Um, so over the summer, my case manager, Casey, and I attended a training with the Louisiana Department of Education on truency, and we that that is where we learned about the the three different reasonings behind truency behaviors. And this new assessment that we are using is going to allow us to do a better job at identifying what that why is and to help us really refine the services that we put in place for kids. And it's something that we're really excited to put in place for the next school year to see how this impacts those numbers that we saw on the previous slides. Um but yeah, that for
056the most part that's what our goals are of the next school year and getting truency those truency numbers a little bit lower. Um I know that there was listed on there the state um the state numbers as well. Ideally we would want to get lower than that in the next coming years. So yeah, that was our goals. Like I said, keeping it really brief today because I know y'all have some other things to attend to, but my my contact information is up there if any of y'all have any questions or anything now or if y'all want to save them for later, that's okay, too. >> Dr. V, I I just want to make a comment and and thank Judge and Golio and thank Gracie for the work that you all have been doing. I know
057you work closely in collaboration with Miss Brandy Blanchard in child welfare and attendance and our principles throughout the school district. Uh but we've talked before judge in some of the meetings that we've been in. Uh I know I would support and would be you know more than willing to speak to the board if we can get our own person for fins just for uh our school district. you know, uh I think that that there's just too many cases out there that it's too much, you know, for a really small group. But thank you for, you know, the efforts. Uh I know that I think judges and a whole bunch of folks had some meetings with the state recently in regards to to tackling the truency issue in particular. Uh, and you know, we're no different
058when you just for the public's sake. When you see 43% truent, that doesn't mean 43% of our kids don't go every day. That means 43% of our kids missed at least 10 days of school, you know, with without an excuse. Uh, which is too much. But, uh, but we definitely are going to remain partners uh, in the FIN initiatives. In the grand scheme of things, that's our goal and we will get there one way or another. [Music] >> Thank y'all so much for your time. >> Thank you. Next we will have the consent agenda which is considered routine and will be enacted on enacted upon with one motion. The first one is to discuss and approve the June 9th 2025 regular schoolboard meeting minutes. Discuss and approve the July 2nd, 2025 executive committee meeting minutes.
059Discuss and approve the July 14th consent agenda as presented. Do I have a motion? I have a motion from Miss Teresa Roy and a second from Mr. Davin Tuier. Any comments from the audience? Any comments from the board? Machine, please. Miss Raj online voting is now open. online voting is now closed. Passes unanimously. Next, we will have the superintendence report updates from Dr. Voron. >> Yes. Good evening. Uh the first item tonight, uh we want to introduce to you our newest official administrator, Miss Crystal Watson. Uh Miss Watson served last year as acting assistant principal at Crescent Elementary School. Uh she served as a master teacher with us before and teacher and she was recently appointed as dean at MSA West Elementary School, replacing Miss Bennett, who became the principal at Everville Elementary. So, congratulations,
060Miss Watson. Please come up and give a few words. >> I want to say good evening. Um, I am honored to step into this role as the elementary dean at MSA West. I sincerely thank you all for this opportunity and the trust you've placed in me to support the staff, the students, and parents. And again, I want to say thank you very much. [Applause] Uh thank you Miss Watson and we look forward to you continue work in that role. Uh next I just wanted to give you some some stats and all you know when we were talking about truency and attendance a minute ago during summer school believe it or not this is actually an improvement uh from the last several years in summer school. This year we had 911 enrolled in various programs. Average
061daily attendance was 505. So the average daily rate was about 55 a.5%. We ran closer to 60% actually a little bit over 60% the first three weeks. Uh that last week was a lot of leap retesting at the high school level. So they only came the the one day that they had to do the retest because they were on different days. And then of course in June started a lot of you know really prime vacation time. But we'd like to see those numbers higher. But you know, at least the ones who came, we we provided them with plenty service. Our moving forward Monday dates for this upcoming school year are listed here. Our schools will be contacting their partners that participate uh in that activity for each of the campuses with them. Uh Miss Butler
062just made a new flyer for this and she'll be getting those posted out on social media. On the next slide, I just wanted to put this out publicly. You all approve for uh inclusion in the master salary schedule with $300 stipen for employees to complete the safe schools training suite, which are mandatory trainings. Uh you approved it with the parameters of July 1 to July 31st for all returning employees to complete it. uh those who are still working have to do it outside of their working uh hours and those 10 and 10 and a halfs who come back this week and next week have to do it outside of their normal hours. We have sent three or four ringdowns to all employees. We have sent multiple email messages uh about this and it goes in
063the correspondences that go out to all employees with our uh newsletter. So, we're putting it out there and and reminding and hopefully our employees are complying. As I mentioned last month, we just had gotten the results from the engagement survey with employees. Uh the next slide just kind of shows you the the percentage completion rates which exceed the you know the completion rates for these surveys in all of the districts that upbeat services in not only Louisiana but other states outside of Louisiana as well. And the next several slides kind of highlight some of the big takeaways. Now, these reflect districtwide. Every school gets their own employee data and every department gets their own employee data. But areas that we saw growth from the fall administration to the spring administration are indicated on this chart
064such as appreciation, work life balance. Uh these are the from the department areas, care, commitment, uh supervisor, trust, satisfaction and purpose, professional development. The teacher areas of growth highlighted were again work life balance which that was a huge jump. uh self-efficacy, compensation, and career path. Even though 61 looks low, it's 5% better than it was in the fall. Uh and this was before the salary enhancements that you made in May when this survey was complete. So hopefully in the fall it'll be even higher. Uh satisfaction and purpose 92%, you know, there. So we're real pleased with seeing those non-instructional staff areas of growth. the two biggest ones with that group was career and compensation and resources and facilities. The next slide just kind of goes through area strength number one for each of the categories
065that was across the board with satisfaction and purpose which that's huge to build morale when your employees feel as though uh what they're doing is making a difference. The next area of strength was self-efficacy. you know that you know huge numbers of our employees feel like what they're doing you know matters and makes a difference. The next one opportunities for improvement although these some of these numbers are still pretty high but they're the ones that are lower than some of the others with teachers uh with non-instructional staff and with department they all feel like there's some trust issues amongst one another. So every one of our principles and department heads have already had their individual coaching session with upbeat and this is going to be an area of focus because we we we need those
066numbers to be better. People have to work where they work together and trust and then uh the other area of opportunity that teachers pointed out to deals with disciplinary practices as far as the consistency uh and uh that came out in our discipline committee meeting this year as well. uh and so those are going to be areas of focus as well. A great thing is last year 18 principles and departments made a plan and of those 14 saw improvement in the particular focus area that they worked on. I'd like to see that be 100% but I'll take 14 out of 18. uh which means the work that they are doing with their individual plans uh made a difference with the perceptions of the employees. And in the last slide, you know, we're getting ready to
067to start school. you know, by the time we get back here on August 11th for our next board meeting, we will already have knocked out uh the PD days, all employees report days, uh some open house activities, and that will be the students first day of the school year, and we'll kick off 2526. That concludes my report, Miss Laws. >> Thank you, Dr. V. Uh the next uh item is governance business and the first item discuss and approve the July the 14th 2025 finance committee meeting recommendation. There were two items on the agenda. One was a action item. One item passed. Do I have a motion? I have a motion by Miss Katherine Williams and I have a second by Mr. Davin Touier. Any comments from the audience? Any comments from the board? Mr. Raj
068online voting is now open. Online vote is now closed. Passes unanimously. Item number two, discuss and approve the July the 14th, 2025 buildings and grounds committee meeting recommendation. There were three items on the agenda. One was a action item, one item passed. Do I have a motion? >> I have a motion by Miss Terresa Roy and I have a second by Miss Pam George. Are there any comments from the audience? Are there any comments from the board? Miss Sj machine please. >> Online vet is now open. Online voting now closed. Passes unanimously. >> Next we will have curriculum and instruction campus operation. The first item is to discuss and approve early childhood compliance policy. Do I have a motion? Have a motion by Mr. Mario and a second by Miss Pam George. Miss Kenova, good
069evening. Um, I have three policies for you tonight. I think I brought a few in May and this should be the last time I have to bring you policies. Um, the first one is a complaint policy. Again, we just made some changes because licensing came out and let us know that there was specific wording they wanted from their regulations in our policies. So, we updated them to say specifically exactly what they wanted. And um the complaint policy is a policy that just states parents shall be advised of the licensing authority of the department along with the current telephone number and email address. Parents will also be advised that they may call or write to the department should they have any significant unresolved licensing complaints. And then the uh contact information is listed. So, it's a
070brief simple um complaint policy. >> Okay. Thank you, Miss Kenova. Are there any comments from the audience? Any comments from the board? >> Dr. V, >> I want to make one comment. Uh we've gotten official notification that our Head Start grant has been approved. >> Yes. >> So, we do have the Head Start grant again for five years. >> Five years. So, congratulations to Miss Kenova and early childhood team. >> Thank you. Yes, they waited until the last minute. The uh the grant ended on June 30th. I think that's the day we got notification of the approval for the new grant, but it's there. >> Great. That's awesome. Um any other comments for the uh policy hearing? None. Miss Raj Machine, please. >> Online voting is now open. One bone is now closed. Passes unanimously.
071Okay. The second one is to discuss and approve the early childhood nondiscrimination policy. Do I have a motion? I have a motion by Mr. Mario Mlashi and a second by Miss Terresa Roy. Miss Kenova. >> Um same exact issue is we just change the words to meet the licensing regulations and it simply states the Ibraville Parish Early Childhood Program prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, sex, national origin, handicap, ancestry, or whether a child is being breastfed. And that is that simple policy. >> Thank you. Any comments from the audience? Any comments from the board? >> Hearing none. Mr. Raj Machine, please. >> Online bone is now open. Online voting is now closed. Passes unanimously. Item number three, discuss and approve the early childhood behavior management policy. Do I have a motion? I
072have a motion from Miss Polly Hickden and I have a second from Mr. Mario Mlash. Miss Kenova, this one is a little more uh detailed and we've had prek behavior issues that have escalated. Um so this policy is being revised because we are having a lot of situations arise where everyone is asking I know it's prek students what can we do what can't we do so we tried to make this very specific for all administrators and leaders in the district. So, the first thing we did was we stated all of the licensing regulations and what um behavior management issues they would like and wording they would like in the policy and then we went to what we will do in our district. So, one of the things that we use daily with um students is
073a behavior tracker that goes home for parents to see. And anytime that parent parents are uh notified that there have been challenging behaviors, we would like them to have a conference with the teacher and that can be done first by phone call. If behaviors do not decrease, then there will be another parent conference and that'll be an in-person conference. In the event we still have behaviors that are disruptive and challenging, then the child will be referred with a behavior referral to our early childhood mental health specialist. The mental health specialist will then go out to observe the student and determine what tier of behavior support is needed. uh she will initiate a meeting with a behavior team at that school and they will develop a behavior support plan for that student. Then a parent meeting
074will be initiated so that they can review that support plan with the parent. So the plan will be implemented and our mental health specialist will provide follow-up support visits. If it's tier 2 behaviors, then she will visit twice a month and tier three behaviors, they will be that classroom will be visited weekly to support that student and teacher. There are times when there are many unacceptable behaviors that arise and they may pose safety threats. So in that instance, there's been questions on what should happen there. So if normal measures have been ineffective, then the child can temporarily be separated from the group to see if the behavior will stop after 30 minutes. If this the child is unable to gain composure, the parent will be contacted to come and pick the child up from school.
075If this continues to happen and the child has to be separated from the group three or more times in one day, then the parent will definitely be notified to come and get the child and they will have a parent conference with the behavior team within 24 hours. If the child is sent home three or more times for unacceptable behavior that pose safety threats, then suspension will be an option. The suspensions that can be given will not exceed one day and all of the steps in the behavior guidance plan must be um must happen before anyone can recommend a suspension and that is the gist of that policy. >> Okay. Thank you. Are there any comments from the audience? Any comments from the board? >> Miss Teresa? So, who is our mental health specialist? >> That
076is Nicole Walker. She's the early childhood mental health specialist. >> Okay. >> She works in our department just with prek. >> Okay. Thank you, >> Miss Roy. We didn't have a meeting this month, but every month you have a report from Nicole Walker. >> Oh, okay. >> In my report. >> Every month. >> Okay. Thank you. >> And and and just to note, she's specific for prek. Yes. We've got several mental health specialists in the school district >> right >> across the board. But Nicole is dedicated strictly. >> That was prek. >> Okay. U Miss Raj Machine please. Online B is now open. Online vote is now closed. Passes unanimously. Thank you. >> Thank you, Miss Kenova. Item number four is to discuss and approve the 2025 2026 pupil progression plan as presented. Dr. Vot,
077>> I'm sorry. May I have a motion? Okay. I have a motion from Mr. Mlasha and a second from Miss Katherine Williams. >> Yes. Last month we brought to you the local revisions uh which you have already approved. We mentioned to you that we would have to come back once the state releases a template that they revise every year for the the new academic school year. The last several years. We've gotten this well after school started. The state department was ahead of time this year. We actually received this shortly after the June board meeting. So this is the template with the required Louisiana Department of Education language that's the result of either statute or Bessie bulletin and our local items that we have to respond to that you've already approved the changes of or included
078in this template. So I'm requesting your approval. >> Any comments from the audience? Any comments from the board? machine please. >> Online voting is now open. Online vote is now closed. Passes unanimously. >> Next we have new business. The first item is to discuss and approve an online auction beginning July the 15th, 2025 through July the 29th, 2025 for food school service surplus items. Do I have a motion? Have a motion by Mr. Davin Tuier and I have a second by Miss Pam George. Miller. >> Yes, ma'am. Um, we're just asking that you allow us to send these items to auction. They're very old, outdated as well as majority of them are broken. Thank you. Are there any comments from the audience or comments from the board? >> Major is now open. Online voting is
079now closed. Passes unanimously. The second item is to discuss and approve accepting the Iberville Parish School System 2025 2026 student handbook as presented. Do I have a motion? I have a motion from Miss Terresa Roy and a second from Miss Polly Hickden. Miss Brandy Blanchard. Good evening. You all received or it was attached to your agenda for tonight. All of the revisions are highlighted in the actual handbook itself. And this is the outline with the page numbers that coincide with those highlights. Um you will see there are very few large changes at all. Um, of course, current school year has been changed throughout the entire book. Um, the superintendent did request that we add page numbers for the table of content. So, we were able to format it. So, we were able to put those
080page numbers in there. So, that was a change. We changed, of course, the board president and vice president on page one. The message from the superintendent is updated to reflect his 2526 school year message. The district approved calendar is there and has been updated. Um, a statement about residency verification. I know some of you have received phone calls and things of that nature with residency verification. We did put a statement in there that just simply says that updated residency verification can be requested at any time during the school year. Um, in most instances, a child or a family will only submit residency verification upon enrollment, but as things go on and they are with us for long periods of time, they move and so on. And so things get changed and they don't necessarily get
081changed in their folders or in J campus. So, we did put that statement in there this year um letting them know that it is possible if need be that they could be requested. Um let's see. We also added the attendance recovery program that will begin this school year. That's also in pupil progression. So, that's something that you did approve last board meeting, a portion that for the district that was unique to our district. um updated verbiage. All of the pupil progression portion has been updated in the handbook. So you approved it at the June board meeting and it just now is reflected in the handbook as well. We added a statement and chart to reflect the grading placement for high school students. So that's all something all part of pupil progression. We did add a
082statement this year addressing the use of AI or artificial intelligence because it is something that we're dealing with. So, we needed to put something in the handbook. Um, basically it's the statement simply says that with the teacher's approval, a student can use AI, but it must be approved by the teacher. If it's not approved by the teacher, then it's considered plagiarism and they won't get credit for it. um the 2526 assessment calendar has been updated uh as well as the school year on the transportation schedule and all of those policies that you just approved for preK have also been added into the handbook. There is one thing that is missing off of this outline that my fault I neglected to do it. It's on page three and it's the grade level for IVLA. You guys
083approved for the grade levels of IVLA to be changed from third to 12th grade. I did not make that change in the handbook. I will make the change, but I wanted to bring that to your attention that that was missing in that outline. >> Thank you. Are there any comments from the audience? Any comments from the board? >> The discipline stuff uh like discipline ladder stuff we talked about and school. >> Yes. Because that really wasn't right. That wasn't really a big change or anything from the district's portion. The schools have to submit a discipline ladder for their individual schools and that will refle that will be shown in their portion of the handbook. I have all schools. Yes. >> All right. >> Thank you. >> Sure. >> No other comments. Miss please. >> Online
084v is now open. Thank you Brandy. Online B is now closed. Passes unanimously. Item number three, discuss and approve the revision of policy EGAC health insurance as recommended by the exe executive committee. Do I have a motion? Have a motion by Miss Polly Hickden and I have a second by Mr. Mario Mlashian. Dr. Vron. >> Yes, we had our executive committee meeting a couple of weeks ago to provide for giving credit to experienced employees coming into the district uh to count towards the vesting schedule. uh with a 25% uh prior credit being given uh with a maximum of five years which means they still would have to work for us for five consecutive years at the time of retirement. Just to give you a very simple example because it's easy. If we hire a teacher
085and they have 20 years of experience that is verified, we can give them five years of credit for those 20 towards the vesting and they work five more years and they could get the 100% vesting. I think this has the opportunity to be a huge recruiting tool. We have had inquiries from quite a number of people in our payroll department and just through conversations I've had with a few of our principles. There's some folks in that category that are interested in coming. Uh but they they're not going to do it if they're not in a situation where they will work 10 more years, but they may be in that situation to work four or five or six years, then this really would be a benefit. Uh I I'm recommending your approval. Uh, and if approved,
086we'll get information out real soon. Uh, emailed Miss Butler some information Miss Leau and I worked on today so we can blast this out tomorrow if you all approve this tonight. >> Thank you, Dr. Von. Any comments? >> Dr. V, I heard you say um, teachers. Does it apply to just teachers? as would apply to all employees and also not just to new employees but to existing employees as well. >> So if somebody comes in as a let's just say a custodian from another >> school district it would apply the same as it would for >> they've got verifiable related experience. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Any other comments machine please? >> Online voting is now open. Online voting is now closed. Passes unanimously. Item number four, discuss and approve granting a utility servitude to
087the Parish utility department to extend the portable water line and the firewater line to the west side of the campus at Northville. Do I have a motion? Have a motion from Miss Pam George and a second from Miss Terresa Roy. Dr. Voron, >> this one's pretty self-explanatory. So the parish needs to go in and uh add some larger water lines and the part of the campus where the new building is being built. We need to grant them a servitude to come in and do that so we can get the right amount of water in and get a good connection to not have too far to connect from. Uh if you got any technical questions, uh Brad is still here. Uh and Mr. Deavon Alvarez has been involved with this and and developed the language for
088the servitude agreement. >> Thank you. Any comments from the board? >> Comments from the audience. >> Maj is now open. All online vote is now closed. Passes unanimously. Item number five, adopt the millage rates for the upcoming year. Do I have a motion? I have a motion from Miss Terresa Roy and I have a second from Miss Katherine Williams. >> Dr. Boron. >> Yes.
