Governor’s School Funding Plan Moves Ahead | New Orleans News
Description
A Baton Rouge judge has cleared the path for Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry to slash public school funding—$168 million—to pay teacher stipends, effectively ending a legal challenge over conflicting legal representation. The ruling, based on a conflict of interest involving the plaintiffs’ lawyer, removes the temporary block on the governor’s plan, which lawmakers approved but critics fear will harm school programs and lead to layoffs. While the judge didn’t rule on whether Landry has constitutional authority to make these cuts via executive order, the governor’s strategy is now set to proceed, leaving the future of Louisiana’s education funding in limbo.
