A $4 billion repair backlog will now shape Louisiana's college building budgets

A $4 billion repair backlog will now shape Louisiana's college building budgets

A Gordian assessment prepared for the Board of Regents puts the deferred maintenance backlog at Louisiana's public colleges at $4 billion. Buildings in the LSU and University of Louisiana systems average 64 years old, compared with 53 years for the community and technical colleges. Those findings now sit alongside a $1.25 billion capital request covering 73 projects.

  • 01Louisiana's state buildings are 70% concentrated on public postsecondary campuses, making higher education the primary owner of state-owned facility inventory.
  • 02The University of Louisiana System has the largest share of highest-risk buildings (over 50 years old) at 35%, while the community and technical college system leads in low-risk buildings at 22%.
  • 03The $1.25 billion capital outlay request covers 73 construction projects but measures construction and new work, not the $4 billion deferred maintenance backlog, representing different funding categories.

Unique Voice says role play draws out safeguarding disclosures

Unique Voice says role play draws out safeguarding disclosures

Unique Voice co-founder Krystal Keeley told CPOMS’s Safeguarding and Focus podcast that drama and role play can help children disclose concerns indirectly. An NSPCC study found 117 of 203 childhood disclosures were acted on. Disclosures from creative sessions still go to the DSL under KCSIE 2026.

  • 01The NSPCC lists four ways a child discloses, and only one is a direct statement; Keeley says drama and storytelling help children disclose indirectly.
  • 02In the NSPCC's study of 60 abuse survivors, 117 of 203 childhood disclosures were acted on, so surfacing a concern is only half the job.
  • 03A creative-session disclosure follows the same route as any other: the child's exact words, written down and passed to the designated safeguarding lead under KCSIE 2026.
