Opinion Number

Dear Senator Jones:

You have requested an opinion of this office as to whether a member of a parish school board may simultaneously serve as a member of the board of commissioners of the Tensas Basin Levee District.

The position on the parish school board is a local elective office and the position on the board of commissioners, which position is established by law as a local part-time appointive position.

Accordingly, there is no prohibition in law that would prevent a member of a parish school board from serving as a member of the Tensas Basin Levee District Board of Commissioners.

Very truly yours,

RICHARD P. IEYOUB Attorney General
