US EditionRural Louisiana families have fewer options to use private school grants: 'No opportunities here'
- Rural families in Winn Parish, Louisiana, face few options to use the LA GATOR private school grant program due to a lack of participating local private schools in 2025.
- This situation stems from limited local school choices, with Winn Parish having no private schools in LA GATOR and many families unaware or unable to apply for the program.
- Most local students attend public schools that serve economically disadvantaged populations, operate with limited resources, and include aging facilities like the 80-year-old Winnfield Primary School.
- Amber Cox, a local school board member, noted that public schools are performing well despite facing significant resource constraints, while Rep. Jack McFarland highlighted that such educational opportunities are lacking in his district.
- The lack of local private options limits families' real school choice, may reduce public school funding, and could lead to more microschools or public providers expanding as awareness of LA GATOR grows.
