School Board member Kibbie Pillette
Greg Theriot, a former Vermilion Parish educator, now works for Charter Schools USA. Theriot spoke to the school board members about the charter school that will be built in the Maurice area, with or without school board approval.
A 15-minute presentation by Charter Schools USA representatives did not convince one school board member as to why it is a good idea to allow a charter school build near Maurice.
Vermilion Parish School Board Member Kibbie Pillette and other board members listened to the presentation from four different members of the Charter Schools USA team. The charter representatives explained to the school board members that the charter school is being built to ease overcrowding in the Maurice area.
The American Legion building was built in 1958. Last week it was sold to an individual.
Pictures of the former American Legion 279 commanders will now hang in the Erath Museum.
ERATH - Commander Boni Suire of American Legion Post 279 in Erath announces that The American Legion hall located at 605 N. Gin Street in Erath has been sold.
The building was erected by members of Derouen-Moss Post 279 in 1958.
Many memories have been made during the past 62 years.
Due to the generosity of Warren Perrin with The Acadian Museum of Erath our history will be preserved.
With severe weather expected to impact the area, Vermilion Parish Superintendent Tommy Byler announced Wednesday morning that schools will be dismissing early.
“Early dismissal protocol will go into place at 12:30,” Byler said. “All normal end of day times should be moved up two hours. We don’t want buses on the road during the height of the storm for the safety of our students and drivers.”
Scott Angelle
A U.S. General Accounting Office report cites leadership improvements at the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement during Scott Angelle’s tenure.
Angelle, of Breaux Bridge, served from May 2017 to this January as the agency’s fourth director.
The Bureau was created in October 2011 in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010. Eleven people died and 17 were injured in the incident. About 4.9 million barrels of oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico.
Prior to Angelle, the Bureau was cited as high risk by the GAO.
