A recent survey conducted by the Louisiana Federation for
Children and the Black Alliance for Educational Options found that an
overwhelming majority – 92.5 percent of parents are either “satisfied” or “very
satisfied” with their child’s scholarship school!
The direct mail survey also found that 93.6 percent of parents are happy with their child’s academic progress; 99.3 percent of parents said they feel their child is safe at their scholarship school; and 98.1 percent of parents said they feel welcome when they visit their child’s scholarship school.
This sentiment rang true as hundreds of Louisiana
scholarship families and education reform advocates packed the steps outside of
the Louisiana State Supreme Court in New Orleans yesterday to show their
support for their educational choice.The direct mail survey also found that 93.6 percent of parents are happy with their child’s academic progress; 99.3 percent of parents said they feel their child is safe at their scholarship school; and 98.1 percent of parents said they feel welcome when they visit their child’s scholarship school.
With the mantra “put kids first!” families made their voices heard preceding a Supreme Court hearing on the constitutionality of the program’s funding mechanism.
Nearly 4,700 students are currently enrolled in the Louisiana Scholarship Program. To qualify for the program, students must be enrolled in an underperforming or failing school and have a family income not exceeding 250 percent of the federal poverty guideline ($57,625 for a family of four).
