Vermilion Parish Superintendent Jerome Puyau
Two days before the process to find the interim superintendent in Lafayette Parish was set to begin, Vermilion Parish School Superintendent Jerome Puyau removed his name from the list for the job.
Last week, Puyau made it public that he applied for the interim superintendent position that will come open in May when the current superintendent retires.
When he applied for the one-year term position, he made it clear he only wanted the job for a year and had no intentions of reapplying for the permanent position.
