路易斯安那州为学校票券寻求88M美元,扩大入学机会,但因公立学校的影响和问责制而面临退缩。 Louisiana seeks $88M for school vouchers, expanding access but facing pushback over public school impacts and accountability.

路易斯安那州州长杰夫·兰德里(Jeff Landry)正试图将LA GAtor学校转学券计划的资金翻一番, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is seeking to nearly double funding for the LA GATOR school voucher program to $88 million for 2026–27, aiming to expand access for 4,000 to 5,000 more students. 这个请求是470亿美元州和联邦预算提案的一部分, 面对参议院议长亨利(Cameron Henry)等立法者的质疑, 他质疑计划的效果、问责制及对公立学校的影响。 The request, part of a $47 billion state and federal budget proposal, faces skepticism from lawmakers like Senate President Cameron Henry, who question the program’s effectiveness, accountability, and impact on public schools. 批评者还对使用公共资金支付非学费以及可能挪用公共教育资源表示关切,特别是因为预算不包括维持目前教师薪资增长的资金。 Critics also raise concerns about using public funds for non-tuition expenses and the potential for diverting resources from public education, especially as the budget does not include funding to maintain current teacher pay increases. 4月18日投票提出的宪法修正案将把已解散的教育信托基金的节余转用于长期提高教师工资。 A proposed constitutional amendment on the April 18 ballot would redirect savings from dissolved education trust funds toward permanent teacher salary hikes.
