Repost from our friends over at FFLICLA. ⁠ ⁠ "As our education leaders at the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) discuss the per pupil cost of education(MFP) let us be reminded that Louisiana spends $155K/year to imprison a child, but only $12K/year for public education. We have to do better #Act1225 #FFLICLA #LetKidsBeKids #NoMorePrisons" ⁠ ⁠ Louisiana chooses how to invest in our youth, and the choice is clear. We MUST do better to offer education and mental health support for our kids, not incarceration. ⁠
