The Lafayette Parish School Board voted 6-3 Tuesday to select an interim superintendent after Schools Superintendent Dr. Donald Aguillard announced his retirement in January, and said his last day would be May 17.

Board members announced that applications will be accepted and interviews would be held by the board for the new interim superintendent. 

Other details regarding the selection process would be worked out and announced at a later date,  the board announced.   

Aguillard, who was appointed in May 2015, had previously served as Superintendent of Schools in St. Mary Parish.
