Over the past two years...

Louisiana has been catastrophically impacted by six hurricanes — two of which were among the strongest in our state’s history. Many coastal public schools have been devastated from the repeated barrage of high winds, torrential rain, and flash floods, resulting in billions of dollars in damages – roofs torn off, hallways flooded, walls collapsed. Our schools just weren’t built to withstand the frequency and scale of these continued natural disasters.

But despite all of this, Louisiana’s students, teachers, administrators, and parents have shown unwavering resilience in the face of extraordinary adversity. They have done their part — now is the time for us to do ours.
