All nine seats on the Lafayette Parish School board were up for election on November 4, 2014. The District 1 contest advanced to a general election on December 6, 2014, as no candidate received 50 percent plus one of the primary election votes in that race.

Incumbents did not seek re-election in three districts. "Coach Don" Gagnard (I), Redell Comeaux "Mama" Miller (D) and Mary Morrison (D) ran to fill the District 1 seat which was vacated by incumbent Mark Allen Babineaux (D). Gagnard and Morrison advanced to a general election.

District 6 incumbent Greg Awbrey (R) did not file to run for re-election. Justin Centanni (R) and Kathleen Schott Espinoza (I) vied for the open seat. Rae Trahan (D), the District 9 incumbent, did not run for re-election. Jeremy Hidalgo (R) and Brian West (R) faced one another in the election to fill her seat on the board.[1]

Incumbents faced challengers in the other six districts. Tommy Angelle (D), the District 2 incumbent, ran for re-election against James A. Chavis (D) and Simon Mahan (I). Elroy Broussard (D) challenged incumbent Shelton J. Cobb (D) in District 3. District 4 incumbent Tehmi Chassion (D) faced Erica Williams (D).
