BOARD INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF NEW FACILITIES

It shall be the policy of the St. Martin Parish School Board that the acceptance of new construction be withheld until completion is certified by the Superintendent of Schools.  Before any building or construction job is accepted by the Board as substantially complete, the architects and contractors shall notify the Superintendent at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the inspection of the construction and Board members shall be notified of this date and invited to view the construction before the final acceptance comes before the Board.  Any payments involved shall be reviewed at this time, and the Board, with advice of the architect, shall have final authorization for any payment.

No such certification shall be made until all contractual agreements have been met to an extent considered satisfactory under the Louisiana laws and the prescribed Board standards.
