options available through multiple providers.
Course Choice will provide students and their families access to rigorous college and career course offerings that best match
students' abilities and needs beginning SY 13-14. The Course Choice program is an integral component of Louisiana Believes, the state's plan to
empower students and teachers. For more information go to http://www.louisianacoursechoice.net or
