The Secretary of The Department of Education, Linda McMahon, supports Governor Jeff Landry's proposal to double funding for the LA Gator program. The funding increase would make way for an additional 4,000-5,000 students receiving these scholarships. This comes as Senate President Cameron Henry raises doubts about the program's sustainability and success. Appropriations Chairman Jack McFarland said lawmakers need to define what the program should cover and whether the funding should be comparable to what public school students receive.
