Making Sense of New Evidence on Private School Vouchers
Body

The Trump administration has made school choice a pillar of its education agenda. What can we learn about school choice from the states and cities already trying it?

Louisiana is one of several states that has established a publicly funded private school choice program. Early results showing large negative effects on test scores generated significant controversy. The third year of results from the Louisiana Scholarship Program will be released on June 26. Join the Urban Institute’s Education Policy Program in conversation with Louisiana state superintendent of education John White and a panel of school choice experts as we discuss the latest findings from Louisiana and what it means for the future of private school vouchers in the Bayou State and around the country.
