An aggressive education agenda
 Gov. Bobby Jindal couldn't have picked a more appropriate event at which to present his plan to reform public education in Louisiana than at a gathering of the state's most powerful business lobby.
Thus it occurred at the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry's annual meeting Tuesday that Jindal laid out a broad overview of his public education reform plan, which will take center stage during the first legislative session of Jindal's second term in office. The governor took office for his second, four-year term on Jan. 9. The Legislature will convene the 2012 regular session in March.
Look for Jindal to spend the next week or two touting his reform agenda. The public "campaign" got under way at the LABI meeting in Baton Rouge. Make no mistake, though, Jindal has been putting the pieces in place for months to make it possible to implement his reform policies, which most certainly will upset the public education establishment. That shouldn't surprise anyone since educators get angry anytime anyone tells them their work must improve.For the full story, subscribe to the The Concordia Sentinel's NEW E-Edition! |
