Summary

The board approved a committee‑structure revision to Policy BBC (contingent on attorney approval), received a sales‑tax report showing an 11.92% increase for July, and reviewed a recommended hunting‑lease renewal on roughly 310 acres in Evangeline Parish.

The Crowley School Board approved a revision to Policy BBC that restructures board committees — keeping the Budget & Finance Committee and replacing the Personnel, Insurance and Curriculum Committee with a Policy Committee — contingent on attorney approval. The board also received routine items including a sales‑tax report and a recommendation to renew a hunting lease on district‑owned timberland.

Board members said the committee restructuring will come back for formal adoption after the district attorney reviews the proposed language. A motion to consider approval of the Policy BBC revisions was made by Mr. Higginbotham and carried on a voice vote; the board recorded the motion as contingent on attorney approval.

On routine financial reports, staff presented a July sales‑tax update. Justin Carrier reported the district was up 11.92% in July compared with the same month last year and said the figures exclude audit adjustments. “We had an outstanding month of July. We were up 11.92% compared to last July,” Carrier said.

The Budget & Finance Committee recommended renewing a hunting lease covering about 310 acres in the wooded portion of Section 16, Township 9 South, Range 2 West in Evangeline Parish. The presenter identified the lessee as Joey Hebert and said the lease brings in a little more than $2,500 per year. “It's a little over $2,500 a year. He does a good job keeping the property up,” a presenter said. The item was transmitted to the board for approval as part of routine consent items.

The board approved the routine consent items by voice vote.
