Members of the Americans for Prosperity Louisiana nonprofit call for full funding of the Louisiana GATOR scholarship program. This would allow parents to use state money to put their kids into private schools.
Public education supporters say this could ultimately lead to public schools being underfunded.
Landry wants lawmakers to approve millions of dollars for the program.
“What we are asking the legislature this year is to just fund it based on the promises and commitment that we made, which is $93 million dollars, which covers $43 million for the voucher kids, and $50 million or so for the first phase of this program,” Landry said.
The state Department of Education says an update is expected by next week on this.
