Summary
The law lets most Louisiana charter schools prioritize admission for certain groups: children of active‑duty military members, children in foster care, students covered by a court‑ordered custody plan, and kindergarteners who attended specified early‑learning centers. Schools in districts where the majority of schools were moved to the Recovery School District are excluded from this authority.
