LAFAYETTE PARISH — Parents, alumni, and community members have united to launch a petition to keep Comeaux High School open.
This initiative comes just one week after a consultant group recommended its closure due to low enrollment and performance concerns.
The petition is being shared with the Lafayette Parish System School as part of a broader effort to advocate for the school.
You can sign the petition here.
Organizers hosted a community meeting Tuesday from 5-6 PM at the recreation center located at 411 W Bluebird Drive in Lafayette to gather support.
As our school and our community, we want this recommendation to be completely removed from the ballot," said Kelly Breaux, one of the organizers of the meeting.
Comeaux High School is one of seven schools at risk of closure or repurposing if the recommendations are approved by the school board.
“If you’re thinking about shutting us down, at least give us two years to prove ourselves," said one community member at Tuesday's meeting.
Parents and community members can also voice their opinions at upcoming public meetings:
• October 28 at 6 PM at Northside High
• October 29 at 6 PM at Acadiana High
• October 29 at 6 PM at Southside High
