This is an interesting time to be involved in public education in Louisiana. At LAE, we stay on top of the issues, analyze them, and provide think-tank solutions. The public relations spin from many entities involved in the Louisiana educational system, does not present you or the general public with the truth. We at LAE, always seek the truth, and seek ways to benefit not only you as an education professional, but all stakeholders. By shepherding the Louisiana public school system, schools, students, and parents all benefit from the fruits of our research. We urge you to stay on top of the issues with us, make your voice heard, and strive for excellence in our public education system here in Louisiana.
