The Jefferson Parish School Board held two public hearings on the proposed 2026-27 budget and reviewed an agenda that includes auctioning vacant property and accepting $100,000 in state appropriations. No decisions have been recorded for any of these items, as minutes have not yet been published.
Budget hearings
