Gov. Bobby Jindal and higher education leaders on Tuesday announced a new $3.4 million grant to recruit and retain school principals.
The Wallace Foundation grant to support educational leaders statewide was made public by Jindal Tuesday at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, according to the governor’s office.
The grant represents a collaborative effort with the governor’s office, the Louisiana Department of Education, the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, the Board of Regents, and the University of Louisiana System to ensure the state is advancing in its ability to train qualified school principals.
“We know that the key to strengthening our children’s education is to put a good teacher in every classroom,” Jindal said at ULM, “and ensuring that we have innovative educational leaders is critical to supporting the efforts of our dedicated teachers.”
Some of the funds from the grant will be designated to fund research that specifically addresses the placement and retention of new educational leaders in districts with underperforming schools.
