Nick Touchet announces run for Vermilion Parish School Board in District I

My name is Nick Touchet and I am pleased to announce my candidacy for the newly added District I seat on the Vermilion Parish School Board.
I was born and raised and a lifelong resident of my district. I am married to Alaina Hebert Touchet from Erath, and we have four children, Kennedi (23), John Nick (18), Meg (16) and Ana Kate (10). Our children attend or have attended public schools including Meaux Elementary, North Vermilion Middle School and North Vermilion High School.
It is the love that I have for my community, my passion for protecting our community’s traditions and values, and the future of the schools in our parish that has prompted me to seek the newly formed District I School Board seat.
Our district functions like a family, full of heart. I want to support the progress of not only my district but all districts in Vermilion Parish. I am enthusiastic about a strong focus on community engagement and adequately preparing our students for their future. It is also very important to me that we keep the safety and well-being of each student, teacher, and staff member at the forefront of our decisions.
Because of the magnitude of my entire family’s involvement in the district and parish, I recognize the importance of values and changes in the school system.
Being elected as your school board representative would allow me the opportunity to serve Vermilion Parish at large and specifically District I. I am committed to fostering positive relationships with the school board, administration, teachers, staff, and importantly my constituents. I am committed to spend the time and energy needed to stay informed and active on all issues pertaining to schools in Vermilion Parish.
As the largest employer in Vermilion parish, the school board has the responsibility to oversee the expenditure of local taxpayer dollars. As a businessman, I understand that the role and responsibility as a school board member is important, and I believe decisions should be based on the best interests of the entire community.
At the end of the day, I am not a politician, but a public servant who is ready to accept the responsibility of improving the quality of public education for children of all ages, incomes, and backgrounds in Vermilion Parish. I thoroughly look forward to meeting and talking to everyone in the coming months and listening to the ideas, concerns, and priorities of each voter.
I humbly ask for your support and your vote for Vermilion Parish School Board District I seat on November 8, 2022.
