  • Ensured Louisiana was a national leader for academic recovery following the pandemic: Harvard and Stanford’s Education Recovery Scorecard found that Louisiana was one of only three states where reading achievement exceed pre-pandemic levels and called the state’s math progress “remarkable” for outpacing the national average.

  • Continuously championed, alongside advocates, for early childhood education, including expansion of quality seats for families regardless of income
  • Launched the “Louisiana Literacy” initiative, providing system leaders, educators, and families with innovative tools and resources to support children on a statewide push for a reading revival
  • Developed the “Fast Forward” initiative, shifting the high school experience by allowing students to graduate high school while simultaneously earning career credentials, a full apprenticeship, an associates degree, or a coherent set of courses leading to a four-year degree
  • Overhauled revised K-12 Student Standards for Social Studies around a Freedom Framework that represents the majesty of country, while recognizing quest to become a more perfect union
  • Expanded school choice options for parents by growing the charter school portfolio as well as supporting increased funding for the Louisiana Scholarship Program
  • Created the “Louisiana Comeback” campaign, a coordinated, statewide effort to recover learning loss caused by COVID-19 and catastrophic hurricanes
