Former St. Landry Parish School Board member John Miller has been sentenced to ten months of house arrest and two years of probation for trying to sell his vote during the school system's search for a new superintendent last year.

Originally five candidates applied for the superintendent's job.

The school is considered academically unacceptable.

Both school board members indicted in a bribery scandal also voted on the agenda item.

Quincy Richard, Sr. and John Miller are accused of trying to sell their votes to acting superintendent Joseph Cassimere ahead of an election.

The St. Landry Parish School Board will vote tomorrow night for a permanent superintendent.

There are five people who are all seeking to take the top post at the school board.

The cuts are expected to save the Parish a lot of money, but some say it isn't enough.

The cuts will save millions.
