LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) — The Lafayette Parish School System plans to name its media center after a longtime employee who was killed in a crash last month.
The Advertiser reports that the Lafayette Parish School Board on Wednesday will consider a request to name the Carol Ann Richard Media Center.
Richard worked as a secretary at the media center for 20 years, and colleagues say she was known for her courtesy and professionalism. The center provides instructional materials and other resources to teachers, administrators, librarians and other school employees.
Richard, who was 66, was killed in a February car crash in Lafayette when a suspected drunk driver hit her vehicle.
