A Vermilion Parish resident had questions that they are hoping someone can answer when it comes to the school board appealing the Louisiana State Attorney Generall Jeff Landry’s lawsuit.
Last week, the three former school board members, along School Board member Chris Gautreaux, filed an appeal to the Third Court of Appeal. They do not agree with Landry’s decision to make what occurred at last year’s January, 2018 school board meeting null and void because the board allegedly violated the Open Meetings Law.

It would cost an estimated $1.1 million to give across-the-board raises to all employees in the City of Abbeville.
While a proposed half-cent sales tax would generate around $1.4 million to help fund those raises, some think too much burden would be placed on local businesses to make it happen.

The search is on for a new Vermilion Parish School Board attorney.
On Thursday, school board attorney Kathy Boudreaux turned in her letter of resignation to superintendent Jerome Puyau.
She told Puyau her private attorney business in Lafayette has increased, so she wants to concentrate on her business.
The timing of Boudreaux quitting could not have come at a worse time because the school board and superintendent are involved in litigations.
