The Vermilion Parish School Board approved Stephen Lotief as the new head football coach at Kaplan High School on Thursday.
The Board went behind closed doors for about 20 minutes and then came out and approve the move 6-2.
Charles Campbell and Bill Searle voted against the hire.
Lotief has been the head football coach at North Vermilion for the last seven years. He replaces Brent Indest, who left Kaplan for Carencro High School.
Lotief will be able to make the move next week.
