“The course provider shall receive a course amount for each eligible funded student.”
“…The per course amount means an amount equal to the market rate as determined by the course provider and reported to the State Department of Education.”
“No local public school system shall actively discourage, intimidate, or threaten an eligible funded student or an eligible participating student during the course enrollment process or at any time for that local school system.”
–Examples of language contained in House Bill 976, aka Act 2, aka the Student Scholarships for Educational Excellence Act, passed by the legislature and signed into law by Gov. Piyush Jindal, which is anticipated to cost the state $44.5 million over five years.



This is what happens when legislators sell their souls to corporate faceless entities who have no allegiance to the people of Louisiana; they want to turn them into “work forces” to create propsperity for export to the venture capitalists.
“… to the market rate as determined by the course provider …” Isn’t this akin to having the fox guard the henhouse?
