Bill would let state pay parents up to $15,000 to send kids to private school

BATON ROUGE, La. — Parents in Louisiana would receive from $5,000 to $15,000 in state money to send their children to private schools under a Landry administration bill that is moving through the State Legislature.
The Louisiana GATOR Scholarship program passed the House Appropriations Committee in a 13-8 vote Tuesday despite concerns over cost and implementation.
The bill, proposed by Rep. Julie Emerson, R-Carencro, would create an Education Savings Account that will allow families to apply for state funding to send their children to private schools of their choice.
The bill passed the House Education Committee unanimously last week. Critics are concerned that it would cost taxpayers several hundred million dollars a year, weaken public school systems and reduce educational accountability.

Didnt we already try this with student loans?
No way private schools will increase tuition after this passes

I’d rather a write off for private schools with the state footing the difference from fed theft

Poor people only I'm sure.
Damned shame that my wife and I would be MUCH better off financially if we got a civil divorce and she became a no income single mother. Crying fricking shame.

Or you could kick out the shite students out of regular public school into an alternative route and make public school viable again.

Sounds like it’s time to get government out of public schools. Just go private and get rid of doe.

My wife used to teach at a low scoring public school. Their parents are the problem. Giving them money only makes it worse. This is some frickin bullshite.

It sounds like this is TOPS for regular school.

quote:dated a girl from the niagara falls, canada area once. I dont know if it was just their school or the whole province but she told me they gave students the option to go either a "university" route where they would take algebra 2, physics, AP courses, etc or a "college/career" route where they would take more hands on/life skill focused classes. I feel like this is a much better system for schools to adopt. Trying to push college on a bunch of kids that dont want to go and have no business going to college is kills any chance at forward momentum academically because of the resources and time youre having to spend to get those lower level kids there.

Won’t this gov cheese program ruin private schools??
Posted on 4/3/24 at 9:54 am to John88
I have a couple questions about how this is going to work. If a private school accepts this program, does the state have any say regarding the policies of that private school? Do the private schools have to modify their admission policy?

Nah, they will raise tuition so that instead of 12k per year it costs 27k.
Only the families that can afford to pay 12( on stop of the 15k stipend will be able to send their kids.
One major appeal of private schools is that public school kids don't go there haha

This should be a very simple bill.
All I ask is give me back the tax money I contribute towards public schools so I can use it to pay my child's tuition. Nothing more, nothing less.

Do they have to opt in?
I took it as a way to just force it on them. If that’s the case, I don’t really see it passing?

It’s what most of the developed world has adopted for their education system. They separate along different pathways pretty early in life. Often by middle school you know if you’re on the university route or not.
We have a completely different outlook on education in the United States. We believe at “everyone should be able to go to college” and push every student towards the university route.
More and more school districts are starting to wake up and add additional routes. My brothers school has welding, mechanics, banking, and a few other routes in addition to the college prep route.
It’ll never get to the Japanese or German or South Korean route.

550 Million at $5,500 per student. Now let's triple it and see where LA has an extra Billion sitting around.
Rinos are nothing but pass the buck instead of fixing the situation.
Imagine families with 4 children getting $60,000/Year in freebies from the state...

I’m confused why a R is backing this? Sounds like a 100% dem program to allow minorities into private schools that they normally wouldn’t be able to go to.
