Mr. Stephen Langlois stated as discussed at last week’s Executive Committee meeting, the monthly financial information is as anticipated through the month of July 31, 2026.

Mr. Stephen Langlois announced the Pointe Coupee Parish School Board approved advertisement of the proposed 2026-2027 general fund budgets for public review at the July 23, 2026 regular meeting. He stated a public hearing was held at 5:00 p.m. this afternoon, and he reviewed each budget. Mr. Langlois stated at this time he will entertain any questions the Board may have on this item. Mr. Frank Aguillard mentioned there were a few questions asked at the public hearing and most of them were by him. Ms. Lisa Loupe D’Aquila made a motion to adopt the 2026-2027 General Fund Budget. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Anita LeJeune. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote of the five members of the Board present and voting. _ _ _ _ Discussion and/or Action Regarding Budget Approval for Livonia High School Addition Projects’ Fund for 2026-2027 Fiscal Year. Mr. Langlois stated the Board approved the projects for additional permanent classrooms and the welding shop at Livonia High School last spring. He explained that a fund is now set-up and will require budget approval due to the funding level for the project. He mentioned the work started during the summer and not much money was spent last year; the money coming in is the proceeds to pay for it and the expenditures are to pay contractors, Vela Builders, and Sawfish Construction. Therefore, this is the reason the Board is being asked to approve a budget for the LHS Addition Projects’ Fund for 2026-2027 fiscal year. Ms. Lisa Loupe D’Aquila requested that Mr. Langlois expound upon the reason for the project. Mr. Langlois stated they wanted to eliminate as many of the temporary modular buildings and a larger welding shop to accommodate the student demand for welding courses, thus the reason for the permanent classrooms and welding shop construction projects at Livonia High School. Mr. Jason Lemoine made a motion, seconded by Mr. Anita LeJeune, to approve the budget regarding the Livonia High School Additon Projects’ Fund for 2026-2027 fiscal year. Hearing no opposition, the motion carried by a unanimous vote of the five members of the Board present and voting. _ _ _ _ Discussion and/or Action Regarding Budget Approval for Central Office Renovation Fund for 2026-2027 Fiscal Year. Mr. Langlois announced the revenue to pay for the new construction of a Central Office Building is from the state of Louisiana (the former School Board Office flooded during Hurricane Gustav in 2008 due to the construction of the bridge). He stated like the previous item, it is his recommendation that the Board approve a budget for the Central Office Renovation Fund Account because of the amount of revenue and expenses that will be flowing through the account to pay J. Reed Construction for the project. He mentioned the contract with J. Reed Contractors was approved by the School Board last spring. President Frank Aguillard mentioned that he would like to announce once again that state funds are paying for the new Central Office Building that will be built by a local contractor. Mr. Aubry Hendricks made a motion, seconded by Mrs. Anita LeJeune, to approve the budget for the Central Office Renovation Fund for the 2026-2027 Fiscal Year. Hearing no opposition, the motion carried by a unanimous vote of the five members of the Board present and voting. _ _ _ _ Consider Adoption of Proposed Revisions to Policies JGCE, Child Abuse; GBRIA, General Leaves of Absence; IDDF, Education of Students with Exceptionalities; IDDFC, (Cameras in Special Education Classrooms; JGCFA, Behavioral Health Services for Students and JD, Discipline, Relative to the 2026 Louisiana Legislative Session. Superintendent Canezaro stated that she is requesting the Board table three policies (JGCE, IDDF and JGCFA). She explained that Attorney Bob Hammonds, with HSAGNP, recommended several revisions to the policies he reviewed; policies were sent back to Forethought for changes to be made. Ms. Canezaro stated her recommendation is to table policies (JGCE, IDDF and JGCFA) this month and bring the revised policies back to the Board next month for consideration of adoption. Ms. Canezaro explained the original Policy GBRIA (General Leaves of Absence) that Forethought sent stated that teachers would get four days of personal leave and other employees would get two days of personal leave. Mr. Hammonds mentioned that other school districts in the state are providing four personal days to all employees, and his recommendation to the Board is to consider granting four days of personal leave for all employees. Supt. Canezaro stated her recommendation to the Board that is to approve Policy GBRIA with four days of personal leave for all employees, excluding 12-month employees. Superintendent Canezaro also recommended approving Policy IDDFC (Cameras in Special Education Classrooms) and Policy JD as written and recommended by Attorney Hammonds. President Aguillard stated that he is asking for two motions; one motion to table and one motion to approve policies discussed. Mr. Aguillard entertained a motion to table policies. Ms. Lisa Loupe D’Aquila made a motion to table policies JGCE (Child Abuse); IDDF (Education of Students with Exceptionalities) and JGCFA (Behavioral Health for Students). The motion was seconded by Mr. Jason Lemoine. Hearing no opposition, the motion carried by a unanimous vote of the five members of the Board present and voting. Mr. Aguillard entertained a motion to approve policies as recommended by Superintendent Canezaro. Mrs. Anita LeJeune made a motion, seconded by Mr. Aubry Hendricks, to approve policies GBRIA (General Leaves of Absence), IDDFC (Cameras in Special Education Classrooms) and JD (Discipline) as recommended by Superintendent Canezaro. Hearing no opposition, the motion carried by a unanimous vote of the five members of the Board present and voting. _ _ _ _ Consider Adoption of Policy File: EBCB (Video/Audio Monitoring of School Board Property and Policy File: EDC (Student Transportation Safety Program). Mr. Criag Schwartzenberg stated the same law firm would like to further review the policies; therefore, the Board was requested to table adoption of policy files EBCB and EDC until next month. Mrs. Anita LeJeune made a motion, seconded by Ms. Lisa Loupe D’Aquila, to table the adoption of Policy File: EBCB (Video/Audio Monitoring of School Board Property and Policy File: EDC (Student Transportation Safety Program). Hearing no opposition, the motion carried by a unanimous vote of the five members of the Board present and voting. _ _ _ _ Discussion and or Action Regarding Setting a Service Fee Schedule for Student Devices. An item is on the agenda regarding setting a service fee schedule for the district-issued student laptop that is the property of the Pointe Coupee Parish School Board. Mr. Langlois stated at last week’s Executive Committee meeting, a discussion ensued regarding the fee schedule proposed for the 2026-2027 school year. He stated they are trying to get students and parents to realize that devices cost money and replacing them gets expensive; it is really a contract a student and their parent/guardian are to sign and return to school. Mr. Langlois mentioned that each freshman laptop purchased last year cost $1,200; the replacement cost for a freshmen computer is $400.00. Parents and students are responsible for the care, security, and return of the device throughout the school year. Devices are issued beginning in the 9th grade until the end of grade 12; the device may be retained, upon request by students, after 4 years of use. He explained that each device is covered under a district warranty for ONE (1) repair per device per year for up to three (3) years. This repair may be applied to any single qualifying incident — including screen damage, charging port issues, and mechanical defects. It does not cover loss, theft, or intentional destruction regardless of warranty status. Once the one annual repair is used, all subsequent damage costs for that school year are the responsibility of the parent or guardian. Mr. Langlois and Superintendent Canezaro understand and recognize that many of our families experience financial hardship and do not want fees to become a barrier to education; therefore, optional payment methods have been considered and are available. Parents can request a meeting with the principal, discuss the financial situation they are experiencing, and a payment plan can be arranged for the student/family. Going forward, this agreement will hopefully make the students more responsible. Superintendent Canezaro stated the technology fund cannot sustain one-to-one student devices if money is spent continually to replace and repair computers. She stated if a family is unable to make a monetary payment, there is language in the service fee schedule document that explains ways to recoup the money with payment plans. Hardship requests consist of the following: Payment plans: Fees may be split into installments. Contact the school’s principal or bookkeeper; Community service option (students): Secondary students may request to perform approved community service hours in lieu of partial payment, subject to principal approval; Hardship waiver: Families experiencing extreme hardship may submit a written request to the principal for fee reduction or waiver. Documentation may be required. Unpaid fees may result in loss of take-home device privileges, device retrieval, and notation on student records. The district will work with families before any adverse action is taken. Mr. Langlois stated that he spoke with Mr. Albert Tran, with MIS Technology, and they started a new ticketing system for repairs last summer, and since July 2025, they have had to repair over 600 devices. Superintendent Canezaro stated there were also 117 police reports for lost computers. Ms. Lisa Loupe D’Aquila made a motion, seconded by Mrs. Anita LeJeune, to approve the service fee schedule for student devices, effective 2026-2027 school year, as recommended by Superintendent Canezaro. Hearing no opposition, the motion carried by a unanimous vote of the five members of the Board present and voting _ _ _ _ Adjournment - On a motion by Lisa Loupe D’Aquila, seconded by Aubry Hendricks, the meeting adjourned at 5:51 p.m. ______________________________ Frank R.
