New law gives La. parents money to spend on private schools; Culture Collision kicks of season of arts events
Description
Louisiana is the latest state to pass a law that gives parents who choose to send their kids to private school, money to spend on it. Last week, the state’s board of education signed an $11 million contract with a developer to manage the program.
WWNO and WRKF’s Aubri Juhasz tells us more about this law and the impact it might have on Louisiana’s education system.
The 14th annual Culture Collision gets underway on Wednesday WWNO, in partnership with Jefferson Performing Arts is hosting the event that gives attendees a first-hand look at what the upcoming arts season has to offer.
WWNO business manager Jameeta Youngblood joins us with the details.
