It’s time we take our government back to the local level and quit following like sheep every decree handed down from D.C.

I predict now that the vouchers claimed will be even lower in future. Lincoln parish overall has good public schools. If there are schools that are voucher eligible, we need to get that corrected very soon; then no more voucher troubles.
How about: if a parent wants to consider moving a child from a “failing” school, the School Board give them the option of moving that child to a non-failing school in the parish system, for, say, one year, to see how it goes. If the federal judge doesn’t like it, tell him him to butt out; education is a local-state issue, and the feds have not helped, rather hurt.
