Kleinpeter, who represents District 5 in Ascension Parish, was elected to the LSBA Board of Directors in 2022 and sworn in as president earlier this year during the association’s annual convention.
“It has been an honor to serve as president and work alongside others who are committed to public education,” Kleinpeter said in the announcement. “When we, as leaders, provide our children with a strong elementary and secondary education, we prepare them to become good citizens and leaders of our communities, state and nation. I appreciate the opportunity to serve and the support I have received throughout my term.”
Kleinpeter previously served as his parish’s board president for several years.
