Signs of a good, restful holiday break: - Search house for laptop and charger - Laptop is dead, requires reboot - Email closed so long it requires re-login - Now, what again is my job? 🤔
Louisiana can be one of these states with improvements to its public school choice law. Public schools can’t be all things to all kids. Why not let parents choose which one works best? #lalege #lagov
"More than 22 million students, 45% of public school students nationwide, now live in states where school districts must participate in open enrollment so long as extra seats are open for students to transfer to." Read more on the advancements in open enrollment in 2025 👇…
🧵 What actually drives social mobility? Education matters, but families & incentives matter just as much. Here’s what we find in the Social Mobility of the 50 States report 👇
Yet another reason why Louisiana families overwhelmingly support school choice and full funding of the LA GATOR ESA program. Ridiculous.

Zachary Schools approves ban on skirts for 5th and 6th-graders at Copper Mill Elementary
ZACHARY - The Zachary School Board approved a ban on skirts for 5th and 6th-grade students. The change, which takes effect in 60 days, happened in the middle of the school year due to alleged...
First of the month. In Louisiana, sadly this still means people having to line up and pay for a government-required vehicle inspection sticker. Someone please put a stop to this nonsense! #lalege #lagov
More young students proficient in reading is always great news! Now to get to 50% (and more) of students across the entire K-12 system up to proficient levels in core subjects. We need just as much attention in higher grades. Let’s keep the momentum going!
Louisiana's literacy efforts continue to show results. K-3 student reading proficiency climbed to 50%. Read more and see how your school performed: ow.ly/9VXF50XqIy7

About this truancy work… Anyone else feel the urge to beat your head against a wall when hearing that school staff need more training on how to properly record student attendance? Seriously?
Great news! Now to measure and report how many are staying in Louisiana and getting jobs in the areas in which these Louisiana institutions educated and trained them—many at taxpayer expense. That outcome data is critical! Looking forward to digging in. #lalege #lagov
Congrats to @LA_Regents & Louisiana Higher Ed! Louisiana just hit a record 52.5% education attainment rate — adding 350,000 new credentialed adults since 2019! With this momentum, we’re on track to beat our 2030 goal ahead of schedule!

Kudos to @doelouisiana and @BESE_LA for developing excellent plans for safely and effectively embedding artificial intelligence into teaching and learning and improving students’ learning of math! Strong plans + strategic implementation = success for students! #lalege #lagov
I just gave someone an extra big tip for correctly asking, “What’s your name?” instead of “What’s a good name?”
PreK tuition increases coming in Louisiana: Nonpublic School Council warns that new state law (Act 409) is costing private schools tens of thousands of $ in unfunded mandates as they become subject to licensing laws initially enacted for child care businesses. #lalege #lagov
The Left didn’t do this, an individual person with evil in their heart did this. Blaming any ideological tribe for the sins of a single person is a dangerous oversimplification that fuels division and risks escalating tensions in an already polarized climate.
With just 35% of their students on grade level and declining enrollment, public school leaders would do well to embrace the state’s focus on helping kids master reading and math and prioritize strategic business decisions on funding and facilities. nola.com/news/education…
I don’t know who’s teaching restaurant staff to ask for a “good name” and a “good phone number,” but please stop this ridiculousness. Just ask for my name and phone number. I have no reason to give you “bad” ones, and if I did, you wouldn’t know, anyway.
