Gov. Jeff Landry (R-LA) signed universal school choice into law on Wednesday, making Louisiana the 11th state in the union to allow education funding to follow students instead of being pumped into schools.

Landry signed the Giving All True Opportunity to Rise Program into law, which will create education savings accounts, the funds from which can be used to send children to private school, for low-income families starting next year.
