Louisiana Department of Education

John White is the Superintendent of Education for the State of Louisiana. The Louisiana Department of Education is responsible to BESE for oversight of education of our children from birth through 12th grade. Louisiana Believes is built on the premise that all children can achieve high expectations for learning and that those closest to children – parents and teachers – know better than government how to help students achieve those expectations. Like the Department of Education, LouisianaBelieves@la.gov is a website that is committed to providing clear, concise information to help families and educators make informed decisions
