Thirteen seats on the St. Landry School Board were up for election on November 4, 2014. Candidates who were unopposed at the end of the filing period were considered elected without opposition as of August 22, 2014. The District 12 race advanced to a general election on December 6, 2014, as no primary election winner garnered a majority vote in the contest.[1]

In District 1, incumbent Anthony Standberry (D) faced Armond "Rocky" Declouette (D). Allen Guillory Sr. (D) also filed to run in the election, but withdrew from the race. Darlene Smith-St. Romain (D) challenged District 5 incumbent Candy B. Gerace (D). District 9 incumbent Randy Wagley (I) faced Ricky Julien Sr. (D). Harry B. Fruge (D) sought re-election against Mary Ellen Donatto (D).[2]

Just after winning the District 10 seat in a special election on May 2, 2014, Hazel McCrea-Sias (D) faced Ceasar Veazie Jr. (D) and Matthew Washington (D) in the general election. McCrea-Sias defeated Washington in the May election.[2]

Districts 12 had the largest number of candidates. Incumbent Josie Frank (D) did not file to run for re-election. Donna Baltakis (D), Albert "Al" Hayes Jr. (D), Roland Miller (R) and Will "La Will" Stevens (D) ran for the open seat. Hayes and Miller advanced to the general election.[2]

The remaining seven seats were retained by incumbents who were re-elected without opposition. They were Charles W. Ross (D) in District 2, Milton "Coach" Ambres (D) in District 3, Raymond P. Cassimere (D) in District 4, Donnie Perron (I) in District 6, Huey Wyble (D) in District 7, Kyle C. Boss (D) in District 8 and Roger Young (R) in District 11.[2]

Two seats on the St. Landry School Board were up for special election on October 19, 2013. District 3's seat was open due to the incumbent, John Miller (D), pleading guilty to bribery charges on July 1, 2013. Faltery Jolivette (I) was appointed to temporarily fill the seat until the special election could be held. District 6's seat was open due to the death of incumbent Ronald Carriere (R) in March 2013. Donnie Perron (D) was appointed to fill the seat until the special election.[3]

Jolivette ran to complete the remainder of Miller's term, but was defeated by Milton "Coach" Ambres (D). Perron defeated Bambi Polotzola (D) and retained the seat for the remainder of Carriere's unexpired term.[4]
