The Terrebonne Parish School Board convened on July 25, 2025, to address key agenda items, beginning with a roll call confirming the presence of all board members, establishing a quorum for the meeting.

The first item on the agenda was the approval of minutes from previous meetings held on December 7, 2021, and a special meeting on December 14, 2021. The motion to approve the minutes was made by Mr. Clyde Hamner and seconded by Dr. Mabel Trahan. No board members raised any objections, and the minutes were approved unanimously.

Following the approval of minutes, the board moved to the election of officers. Ms. Debbie Benoit nominated Mr. Harding for the position of president for the upcoming year. She highlighted the significant task ahead for the board, particularly the process of electing a new superintendent, which Mr. Harding had initiated in the previous year.

The meeting proceeded with a focus on the responsibilities and challenges that lie ahead for the board, emphasizing the importance of leadership during this transitional period. Further discussions and decisions regarding the election of other board officers and the superintendent search were anticipated in subsequent meetings.

In summary, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to effective governance and the critical tasks they face in the coming year. The next steps will involve continued discussions on leadership roles and the superintendent selection process.
