Students could feel effects of budget cuts: Louisiana makes $16M in cuts to education - Mike Hasten, Shreveport Times

No additional 4 year olds can be enrolled in the LA-4 pre-school program this year, high school students could be limited in co-enrolling in community or technical college courses, literacy and math programs will be reduced and college readiness programs will be trimmed. These are just some of the impacts of a $16 million cut imposed Monday by the state Department of Education to fulfill the state's demand for an across-the-board reduction of funds. Statewide, agencies cut $247.9 million because of declining state revenues.
