Vermilion Parish School Board in no hurry to begin search for new superintendent

How long will interim superintendent Brad Prudhomme keep the word “interim” in front of his name?
The answer to that question is for at least another 90 days.
At Thursday’s three-hour school board meeting, school board member Chris Gautreaux wanted to begin the search for a permanent superintendent. He said the entire process could take anywhere from 60 to 90 days.
“It is important we have a superintendent in place before the start of the next school year,” said school board member Kristy Hebert.
