The Lafayette Parish School System is now accepting applications for the 2025–2026 Superintendent’s Advisory Panel.

This panel brings together a mix of voices—parents, educators, business owners, elected officials, and community members —all working toward one goal of making Lafayette Parish schools even better for every student, according to a spokesperson for 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?

  • ✔️ 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
