90-DAY COMMENT PERIOD FOR VOUCHER ACCOUNTABILITY PROPOSAL
 |
| Voucher accountability a sham? |
Tuesday’s vote sets in motion a 90-day comment period during which the public may suggest changes in the policy to BESE. After that period, the rules will become part of a department policy bulletin. People who wish to suggest changes can contact BESE at 225-342-5840.
This post by the Louisiana Federation of Teachers reveals a fact that completely passed my sphere of awareness at BESE's meeting during which they approved John White's new "accountability" proposal for voucher schools. Certainly proper procedure and process for BESE is often muddled and manipulated and this provision was pretty well kept under wraps. The proposal is only three pages long and we are all capable of presenting our viable suggestions that would make it a true accountability document. I hope everyone will take the opportunity to offer their "two bits." Here is the link to the press release which has a link to the document imbedded in it. There is no direct link to the document posted on the LDOE web site at this time:
