MONROE, La. (AP) - Louisiana is receiving a $3.4 million education grant designed to help recruit and train qualified school principals.
The two-year grant is through the Wallace Foundation, which has provided similar grant funds for the past three years to the state for education leadership programs.
Governor Bobby Jindal and state education leaders announced the grant funding Tuesday in Monroe.
Some of the money will be used to pay for research involving ways to get well-trained principals into districts with underperforming schools. Another program funded under the previous grant is expected to continue. It involves partnering Louisiana universities with local school districts to redesign educational training programs.
