The Lafayette Parish School Board will narrow the list of candidates for public schools superintendent to three at a special meeting on Tuesday, November 15. The Lafayette Chamber has been part of a collaborative effort to identify the best of the applicants for the position being vacated by retiring Burnell Lemoine.

The Lafayette Public Education Stakeholders Council (LaPESC), of which the Chamber is a member, and the 100 Black Men of Greater Lafayette represented the community in the search. Both groups selected Dr. Pat Cooper, CEO of Early Childhood and Family Learning Foundation in New Orleans; St. Mary Parish Superintendent Don Aguillard; and Maria Pitre-Martin, director of K-12 curriculum and instruction for the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.
