The Trump administration has made school choice a pillar of its
education agenda. What can we learn about school choice from the
states and cities already trying it?Louisiana is one of several states
that has established a publicly funded private school choice
program. Early results showing large negative effects on test scores
generated significant controversy. The third year of results from the
Louisiana Scholarship Program will be released on June 26. Join the
Urban Institute’s Education Policy Program in conversation with
Louisiana state superintendent of education John White and a panel of
school choice experts as we discuss the latest findings from Louisiana
and what it means for the future of private school vouchers in the
Bayou State and around the country.
