Louisiana's top education official sketches plans for closer scrutiny of private schools

Andrew Vanacore:

The state's top education official, Superintendent John White, laid out a broad framework Tuesday for revising the way Louisiana vets state-sanctioned private schools, a process under greater scrutiny now that those schools can apply to receive tax dollars through the state's new voucher program. Without going into detail -- the superintendent plans to bring a fleshed-out plan before the state board of education next month -- White told members of the board's nonpublic school council that his approach will vary from school to school based on the number of children affected and the amount of tax dollars at stake.
