Charlotte Detraz seeks election to seat on Vermilion Parish School Board in District E

Education is the key to success. It’s what we believe and it’s what we teach our children. Our public schools are here to serve the educational needs of all the children. School board members are elected to provide the professional leadership that supports the vision and goals of the school district. Board members must work together with other members to represent the interest, values and concerns of not only the district they serve, but the entire community.
