(KLFY)-- A unanimous vote Wednesday from the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education has led to the reappointment of Dr. Cade Brumley as Louisiana State Superintendent of Education.

Brumley has served as state superintendent since May 2020, working through global and state challenges like severe hurricanes and the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Education in Louisiana is poised to accelerate and I’m humbled by the opportunity to work alongside Governor Landry, the legislature, and BESE to move our state to the next level of success,” Brumley said. “We’ve made encouraging progress and I’m proud of the commitment from students, parents, and educators to continue our state’s academic gains.”

“In a state that’s been long-challenged educationally, we must remain laser focused on academic achievement,” Brumley added. “Merit matters in Louisiana and our students are as capable as any in the nation. Now is the time to set high standards and give every student the opportunities they need to reach their full potential.”

Before joining the Louisiana Department of Education, Brumley was superintendent of Jefferson Parish and DeSoto parish schools.

The Board president and officers will now be moving forward with the process of completing a contractual agreement with Brumley.

“Dr. Brumley’s leadership has been instrumental in the improved academic outcomes Louisiana has made in recent years,” BESE President Ronnie Morris said. “We look forward to our continued collaboration as we continue to raise the bar for Louisiana students.”
