Cooper Writes Letter to Board

Lafayette Parish School Superintendent Doctor Pat Cooper is on the defensive.

He says he is looking to move the board forward. This weekend, he sent a memo to board members saying some are violating laws and board policy. Cooper says some members want him to fail, "I'm not interested in being fired, I'm not interested in having my contract bought out, I'm not interested in quitting. I want to do what I was brought here to do and that's the six year plan."

Cooper believes the where the board is now is "disastrous" for the parish.
