Louisiana mandatory kindergarten bill advancing in state legislature

Although the ribbon-cutting took place in November 2019, IHSNO is still being applauded for its part of the project — most recently with an award.
In mid-December, the Louisiana Association of Public Charter Schools honored IHSNO with the 2020 Community Roots Award, which recognizes a Louisiana charter school that demonstrates community engagement through partnerships with outside organizations and individuals. ....

Amid pandemic, Louisiana schools chief Cade Brumley wins praise from former critics


Will Sentell
The Advocate (Baton Rouge)
State Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley, who just passed the six-month mark on the job, is winning praise even from some education groups that were less than enthusiastic about his selection.
Brumley s willingness to listen to a wide variety of views on often-contentious public school issues in the midst of a pandemic was cited by leaders of several organizations asked for an early assessment.
He is very accessible, said Barry Erwin, president of the Council for a Better Louisiana.
Brumley narrowly landed the job on May 20 on the third vote by the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. ....
