A significant service upgrade is underway at Spring Creek, as the Tangipahoa Parish School System addresses electrical capacity issues to support new units. The current single-phase system is inadequate, prompting a transition to a three-phase setup for the gym. However, delays have arisen due to late contractor engagement, leaving the timeline for completion uncertain.

During the meeting, officials acknowledged communication challenges between Entergy and the contractor, which have hindered progress. A new transformer will be required, with plans for a pole-mounted installation, which is seen as a positive development.

Looking ahead, Roseland and Sumner schools are next in line for upgrades, pending scheduling with the manufacturer. Meanwhile, Machitura Junior High has just begun its project, with an expected completion date around May 25, 2026.

Concerns were raised about the impact of ongoing construction on high school gym schedules, particularly with basketball and volleyball seasons approaching. Officials assured that they are coordinating with coaches to minimize disruptions, emphasizing that work will be scheduled around games and practices.

The situation at Greenville Park is more promising, with contractors actively working on both unit installation and window replacements. As the school system navigates these upgrades, the focus remains on ensuring timely completion while accommodating the needs of students and staff.
