LAFAYETTE, La. (KPEL News) — Lafayette Parish School System Superintendent Francis Touchet says repurposing Ovey Comeaux High School is about more than just a school building. In a radio interview Wednesday morning, he said it is about fiscal responsibility, career readiness, and a district that can’t keep pretending a half-empty campus is a workable long-term solution.
Touchet joined Acadiana’s Morning News on NewsTalk 96.5 KPEL on Wednesday, ahead of Thursday’s school board meeting. The board is set to take up the Comeaux proposal 16 months after its last attempt to close the school.
