Louisiana seeks $88M for school vouchers, expanding access but facing pushback over public school impacts and accountability.
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is seeking to nearly double funding for the LA GATOR school voucher program to $88 million for 2026–27, aiming to expand access for 4,000 to 5,000 more students.
The request, part of a $47 billion state and federal budget proposal, faces skepticism from lawmakers like Senate President Cameron Henry, who question the program’s effectiveness, accountability, and impact on public schools.
Critics also raise concerns about using public funds for non-tuition expenses and the potential for diverting resources from public education, especially as the budget does not include funding to maintain current teacher pay increases.
A proposed constitutional amendment on the April 18 ballot would redirect savings from dissolved education trust funds toward permanent teacher salary hikes.
