budget request for the school.
B. École Pointe-au-Chien shall be considered a public school and, as such, shall be
included by the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education in the formula required
by Article VIII, Section 13 of the Constitution of Louisiana used to determine the cost of a

Funding shall be provided through appropriations made directly to the school from the state
general fund and through funds appropriated for the minimum foundation program and
