Louisiana education officials plan to invest nearly $6 million in federal grant funding to expand AI-powered learning tools and tutoring across public schools, The Center Square writes.
About $1 million will go toward student accounts for three classroom technology platforms—Amira, Khanmigo and Writable—designed to support literacy, math and writing instruction. The remaining $4.87 million is earmarked for the Steve Carter Tutoring Program, which provides vouchers for supplemental help in reading, math and English.
State Superintendent Cade Brumley says the allocation represents a shift into a “post-ESSER world” as pandemic-era funds expire and the state leans on more limited federal dollars to sustain academic gains.
Larger districts—such as Jefferson, Rapides, Tangipahoa and Caddo parishes—will receive some of the biggest shares, but rural districts are included as well. In total, 23 districts will receive support for both AI and tutoring initiatives, pending approval by the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education this week.
