| Governor Kathleen Babineauz Blanco's State of the State Address
Teacher Compensation
Raise teacher salaries by at least $1,000, in addition to the 300 dollar average raise already in the minimum foundation formula.
Prekindergarten
Invest another $20 million in LA-4, Louisiana's pre-K program for at-risk 4-year-olds -- to help put almost every at-risk child in LA-4.
HIgh School
Louisiana is leading the national effort to redesign high schools. High schools must offer a more-demanding education to produce students ready for success in college AND our modern economy. This redesign will require all public high schools to create rigorous academic and career pathways to keep their students enrolled and learning. We must decrease the number of students dropping out of high schools and increase the number dropping in to technical colleges, community colleges or universities.
Health
Making cigarettes more expensive is one way to discourage young people from smoking.
To address childhood obesity, encourage healthy choices by emptying school vending machines of sugary soft-drinks and high-calorie snacks and replacing them with healthy choices.
