It's official: The Lafayette Parish School Board's investigation of Superintendent Pat Cooper gets rolling this week.

In a letter distributed Saturday to board members, board President Hunter Beasley writes: "Dennis Blunt, [sic] will be contacting you this next week to meet and discuss any concerns you have about the superintendent. Mr. Blunt is the legal council [sic] recently approved by the attorney general."

According to the letter, board member Mark Allen Babineaux (perhaps out of sheer excitement to get the ball rolling on the investigation) has even offered his downtown law office as a place for board members to meet with Blunt for interviews.
