The St. John the Baptist Parish School Board approved a package of business and finance items on Sept. 14, 2023, including contract awards, extensions and a procurement cancellation intended to keep district operations funded and covered for the coming year.
On motions recorded in the minutes, the board voted to cancel an outstanding RFP for staffing services and to award a one‑year staffing-services contract to Kelly Services. The board also approved a one‑year extension of the Gallo contract for backflow preventers and lift-station work, and extended the district’s workers’ compensation policy with LOCA for one year. All of these motions are recorded in the minutes as passing on unanimous recorded votes with nine yeas and two absences.
The board approved advertising for a geotechnical contractor to support bond projects after a presentation by Clay Slagle of Volkert. The minutes show the board also approved the Louisiana Compliance Questionnaire and awarded a one‑year general liability and fleet-insurance contract to Louisiana Service of Norco. Board members requested that Mr. Faucheux confirm vehicles not in service are removed from coverage to reduce premiums; the minutes record the request but do not include Mr. Faucheux’s response.
The Sheriff’s Office contract for traffic detail and school resource officers was approved in an amended form after review by legal counsel, according to the minutes.
The minutes list motion sponsors for each item and record roll-call tallies for the votes; the meeting record does not include contract dollar amounts or specific vendor-scored criteria. The motions were moved and seconded by board members as noted in the minutes and are recorded as carried.
