MFP ACTION REQUEST!!!
REJECT THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL RADICAL MFP (Minimum Foundation Program - public school financing formula)
Even if you take no other action this year, please send a message to your Representative saying “Reject the Minimum Foundation Program,” SCR 99 by Sen. Conrad Appel (R-Metairie).
The $3.41 billion MFP is the formula that funnels state funds to local school districts. This year, Governor Bobby Jindal and his allies on the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education are using the MFP to radically redefine public education in Louisiana.
The State Constitution says the MFP shall be used to fund “public elementary and secondary schools.”
But for the first time in history, money dedicated to public schools will be diverted to private and religious schools
