Lafayette, LA (July 14, 2025) – The Lafayette Parish School System is now accepting applications for the 2025–2026 Superintendent’s Advisory Panel, and we want to hear from you!
This panel brings together a mix of voices—parents, educators, business owners, elected officials, and community members—all working toward one goal: making our schools even better for every student. It’s a great opportunity to share your ideas, stay in the loop, and help guide the future of LPSS.
“We know that the best ideas don’t always come from behind a desk,” said Superintendent Francis Touchet. “This panel gives our community a seat at the table so we can move forward together—with purpose and unity.”
Here’s How It Works:
- The panel meets once every three months on a Wednesday.
- The first meeting will be in September 2025.
- You’ll collaborate with our Teacher Advisory Panel (made up of teachers from all grade levels) and principal reps from elementary, middle, and high school.
Who Should Apply?
If you care about our schools and want to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you. We’re looking for:
- ✔️ Parents and guardians of LPSS students
- ✔️ Business and community leaders
- ✔️ Future educators
- ✔️ Elected or civic leaders
- ✔️ Anyone who believes in the power of public education
