Who should be principal of Caddo School?

SHREVEPORT, LA – Your opinion matters to us. That is the message from Caddo school leaders who want to hear from the public about who the next superintendent for Caddo Parish Schools is.

This week, community meetings are being held throughout the community, giving you the opportunity to talk about the priorities you want from the next superintendent of Caddo schools. The previous leader, Dr. Lamar Goree, left the community after the school year to take a job in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex.

McPherson & Jacobson has been hired to conduct a nationwide search and is hosting these meetings.
