Five Lafayette Parish School Board Members Could Face Fines For Excessive Absences
LAFAYETTE, La. (KPEL) -- Five Lafayette Parish School Board members could be fined for missing too many meetings during 2012.

Board policy states members are allowed to miss up to five meetings. Any unexcused absence after that point incurs a $100 penalty per absence.
In Awbrey's case, he could be fined $1,400 for his 19 absences, while Angelle's 18 absences could cost him $1,300.
Rae Trahan issed 16 meetings, Tehmi Chassion missed 11, and Mark Babineaux missed six.
