SCHOOL ATTORNEY

The East Feliciana Parish School Board recognizes that the increasing complexity of school system operations frequently requires procurement of professional legal services.  Consequently, it shall rely on the District Attorney for purposes of systematically securing such services.  The primary function of an attorney shall be to provide professional legal counsel and representation to the Board and Superintendent. 

The School Board may select and employ its own general attorney, in which case the District Attorney shall be relieved of responsibility to serve as counsel for the School Board.  The Board may also employ additional legal assistance when special circumstances warrant, subject to approval of the Attorney General.
