Education Secretary Linda McMahon is endorsing Gov. Jeff Landry's request to state lawmakers to double the funding for the LA GATOR program.
Landry is making public funding for K-12 private-school tuition a top priority for the Legislative Regular Session that started this week.
McMahon expressed her support on Wednesday in an X post.
This year about 5,600 students received the scholarships. Landry says his proposed funding boost would make way for an additional four or five thousand students.
