Summary
This bill streamlines the process for charter school applicants with regional non-profit, university, or corporate partners to apply to Louisiana’s state education board and serve children from multiple parishes, consistent with their regional workforce and economic development objectives. It will prevent situations where these schools can only enroll children of employees who live in the parish in which the school is located, even though the school and its partner employs workers who reside in multiple neighboring parishes.
