The Louisiana Constitution is different from our and this decision is about a straight voucher program, not a tax credit funded voucher program like ours in New Hampshire, but it is still a major decision in the context of the national privatization debate.
The state Supreme Court has ruled that the current method of funding the statewide school voucher program is unconstitutional. Act 2, part of Gov. Bobby Jindal’s 2012 package of education reforms, diverts money from each student’s per-pupil allocation to cover the cost of private or parochial school tuition. The act authorizes both the Louisiana Scholarship Program and the new Course Choice program.
The vote was 6-1, with Justice Greg Guidry dissenting. The plaintiffs in the case include the Louisiana Association of Educators, the Louisiana Federation of Teachers and the Louisiana School Boards Association.
The decision states that the per-pupil allocation, called the minimum foundation program or MFP, must go to public schools. Justice John Weimer writes, “The state funds approved through the unique MFP process cannot be diverted to nonpublic schools or other nonpublic course providers according to the clear, specific and unambiguous language of the constitution.”

Advancing New Hampshire Public Education 
Winning battles now weekly. I hope the public understands that it is their individual efforts and determination to expose the lies and graft that drives reform that is winning against this war on our public schools. If there is one lesson I have learned it is that a few determined, principled people can make a huge difference.
