2.         Lafayette Parish School System and The Education Chamber Joint Cooperative Agreement

Superintendent Cooper informed the Board that in 2003 the school system went into partnership with The Greater Lafayette Chamber of Commerce to put together peer review committees to look at human resources, facilities, finance, transportation and technology. Dr. Cooper said that we were going back to the drawing board, because he thought the Chamber had a lot to offer to the school district in terms of getting us into the 21st Century, and allow the Lafayette Parish School District to relate to the community in terms of the economy, technology and various issues.

 

Jerry Greig, Volunteer Chairman of  the Board of The Greater Lafayette Chamber of Commerce which represents 1300 companies in the Lafayette area and about 2500 individual members. He introduced Andy Begnaud, Head of the Education Division, and informed the Board that the Chamber has a long standing relationship with education, because of the importance of hiring an educated and prepared workforce.  They also reported that education is very important to the success of the community, and that they are very supportive of Dr. Cooper’s 100%In…100%Out program.

 

Mr. Greig reported the Chamber is prepared to embark on the peer review technology plan, by convening 8-10 chamber members and volunteers with skills in information technology business process. He believes that by the first quarter of the new year, they will be able to deliver an update to the Board. Mr. Greig thanked the Board for allowing The Education Chamber to collaborate with the Lafayette Parish School System through a Peer Review Team to assess technology and to provide best practices recommendations in this area.

 

Superintendent Cooper said the school system needs to know what it is going to take to get to the 21st century in terms of technology, and that he appreciated all efforts given by the Chamber.

 

Board President Cobb said that the Board appreciates efforts by all groups and looks forward to working with them.

She said that she owns a business and is the only employee, therefore, she cannot attend workshops that are held during work hours.  She also addressed the comment that she was not supportive of the bond issue regarding Youngsville Middle Schools.  Mrs. Trahan said she didn’t support it because there was no plan, she asked that she be shown where the money is going.

She said that she would continue to ask questions for her constituents, and asked that workshops be held on non business times.
