It’s a pivotal moment for public charter schools in Louisiana. While the Supreme Court earlier this year determined we are public schools, there is much work to be done. After fighting to protect multiple pathways towards authorization for charter schools, the next big fight is against barriers that prevent our growth; like denying charters access […]
Summer seems to be getting shorter and shorter! It’s hard to believe its almost time to put the flip-flops away as many teachers and students will be heading back to school in the coming days.

It’s been another busy month, one which underscored the continuing need for statewide advocacy for charter schools in fighting back against anti-charter forces. Our decade of work paid off with a clear and decisive victory before the La. Supreme Court; stopping schools from being closed, putting students first, and empowering parents. As Justice Jimmy Genovese stated in […]
It’s hard to believe Mardi Gras has come and gone, and February is almost over! It was great to see so many public charter schools marching with pride in this year’s parade celebrations. Now it’s time to pack away those beads and costumes, roll up our sleeves, and get to work, as there’s a lot […]
