Former Superintendent Finalist Applies For Lafayette Schools Chief

A twelfth person has submitted their application for Lafayette Parish School System Superintendent.

Ayinde Rudolph of Buffalo, New York, was most recently the principal of Westminster Community Charter School in Buffalo; he also served time as the associate director for school transformation for the Buffalo Promise Neighborhood.

Rudolph's application was added with the other eleven because it was postmarked by the application deadline.

Rudolph, who is now an education consultant, was also a principal in North Carolina. He was also one of three finalists for superintendent of schools in Salem, Mass.

Rudolph received a bachelor of arts from Wittenberg University, a master of education from George Washington University, and a doctorate of education from Vanderbilt University.
