What We’re Watching: Release of Four Studies on Vouchers in Louisiana

On Monday, Feb. 22 at 4 p.m. CST, the Education Research Alliance for New Orleans will release four new reports on the Louisiana Scholarship Program. The studies were conducted as a partnership with the School Choice Demonstration Project at the University of Arkansas and look at the impact of the vouchers on student achievement and non-cognitive skills, on racial segregation, and on students attending nearby public schools (competitive effects).

You can watch the event live here.

Earlier this year Education Next published a series of studies conducted by the Education Research for New Orleans that looked at other aspects of school reform in New Orleans.
