Today on “Mornings With Ken & Bernie” newly chosen School Superintendent Dr. Pat Cooper outlined his plans for Lafayette Parish Schools. According to Cooper there are a number of schools in the parish that need repairs, renovation and better discipline.
The seven-month search for someone to lead the Lafayette Parish Schools is over. After a final round of interviews yesterday with the three finalists for the job, school board members in the end voted unanimously to offer the post to Pat Cooper.
You might call it a wild ride, one candidate is in, another is out, and this has been going on for weeks now. The only sure thing is, by the middle part of this month Lafayette Parish Schools will have a new superintendent.

The pool of candidates for the next superintendent of Lafayette Parish public schools has increased to 13 as William Butler officially added his name to the mix.
