"The Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) for at least three years manipulated qualification requirements for several New Orleans charter schools so that they would qualify for millions of dollars in federal grants, according to a former LDOE employee who now works for a parish school district and who asked that his name not be revealed. The employee told LouisianaVoice that the practice started under former Superintendent of Education........and continued at least in John White’s first year as superintendent.
