Student Scholarships for Educational Excellence Program
|
| Enacted Spring 2008 |
| Low-income students in grades K-3 located in large, failing school districts (currently only New Orleans qualifies) are eligible for vouchers to attend the public or private school of their choice. Additional grade levels will be added to the program in future years (one grade level per year). Only private schools that were already in existence for three years when the voucher program was created can participate. |

Personal Tax Deduction
|
| Enacted March 2008 |
| Louisiana provides a personal tax deduction for educational expenses, including private school tuition and fees as well as uniforms, textbooks, curricular materials and any school supplies required by the school. This deduction helps mitigate the cost of choosing a private school, making it easier for families to exercise choice. The deduction also includes tuition and fees at university-run “lab schools,” as well as educational expenses for public school and home school students. It was enacted in March 2008. |
