Louisiana education department gets $13.5M for charter schools

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — The Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) was awarded $13.5 million from the federal government for charter schools.

The LDOE stated that the most recent funding is in addition to the $55 million awarded initially through the Charter Schools Program grant. The state plans to use the funding to improve academic outcomes in literacy, math, attendance, and college and career readiness.

Charter schools in Louisiana will get funds through an application process.

“Louisiana has proven that we can drive academic outcomes and expand opportunities when given the flexibility to innovate,” said Louisiana State Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley. “We are grateful to President Trump and Secretary McMahon for taking action on their promise to return education to the states.”

U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon said a “one-size-fits-all” educational system isn’t working for students nationwide.

“Charter schools allow for innovative educational models that expand learning opportunities for students,” she said. “The Trump Administration will continue to use every available tool to advocate for meaningful learning, advance school choice, and ensure every student is well-positioned to succeed.”
