Archdioceses and A+PEL get state funds to promote vouchers Among the contracts approved without debate by BESE were some that provide state funds for three Catholic school systems to “expand capacity” for students who attend school on state-funded vouchers. For one of those contracts, worth $75,058, the Archdiocese of Baton Rouge will partner with the Associated Professional Educators of Louisiana (A+PEL) to “increase selected schools’ capacity to serve more Louisiana Scholarship Program students.” The Archdiocese of New Orleans will partner with CBT/McGraw Hill Education on a $163,525 contract, and the Archdiocese of Shreveport will partner with the School Leadership Center on its $110,998 contract. So your public school funds will go to three Archdiocese so they can build capacity to take on more voucher students. That means anything from building classrooms to hiring teachers and buying instructional materials. Since when has The state financed nfrastructure for public schools? (except for charters). Is this constitutional? See Mercedes blog regarding JWs desperate attempts to push vouchers that private schools really dont want.
