A group of Vermilion Parish graduating seniors and parents held a protest on Tuesday to try to change the way seniors will graduate this year.
Interim Superintendent Brad Prudhomme, said there will be no large gatherings for high school graduations. Prudhomme announced last week that each graduate would be handed a diploma in front of only five family members and a small group of school staff members. A photo will be taken of each graduate, and then they will walk away, and another student and family members will arrive.

How long will interim superintendent Brad Prudhomme keep the word “interim” in front of his name?
The answer to that question is for at least another 90 days.
At Thursday’s three-hour school board meeting, school board member Chris Gautreaux wanted to begin the search for a permanent superintendent. He said the entire process could take anywhere from 60 to 90 days.
“It is important we have a superintendent in place before the start of the next school year,” said school board member Kristy Hebert.
