Jeff Landry on Education

 

 


Enhanced opportunities with education savings accounts

We inherited an educational crisis that has gripped this State for far too long. So, we enhanced educational opportunities by establishing education savings accounts, empowering families to select the learning environment that best suits their needs and values. Over 35,000 parents have responded, seeking to participate in our Gator Scholarship Program. Included in this number are parents with children with disabilities and low-income families desperate for our help!

We got the cell phones out and the Ten Commandments in

While many have opposed curriculum reform, we have proven them wrong with results, and we shall continue to emphasize teaching our children the fundamentals needed to have productive lives. This has taken indoctrination out, so education can come in. And our higher education community is also following your instructions, purging the wasteful and divisive DEI programs from our universities, once and for all! We got the cell phones out, and the Ten Commandments in.

Put parents back in control, let the money follow the child

When we are done with this session--let us send a message loud and clear--that THE PARENT is the most important voice in a child's education. The steps we need to take are simple:

Throwing more money at a broken system is not the answer

Throwing more money at a broken system that lacks accountability is not the answer, and Jeff knows that parents are the most critical voices in a child's education. When faced with elementary school mask mandates and forced COVID vaccinations on school children, Jeff Landry stood strong, defending children and protecting parents' rights from the "woke" mob.

Empower parents with home school, charters, & church schools

We need to ensure educational decisions are made by parents not bureaucrats. We need to adopt policies that empower parents to make decisions about their own child's education--including home school, charter schools, church-based schools and other alternatives. This allows parents to determine the best course of action in raising our state and nation's children up to be responsible adults. We need to make sure the school system's priority is quality students, not unions or bureaucracies.
