Gov. Landry signs LA GATOR scholarship program into law
SUMMARY: Governor Jeff Landry held a major press conference at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School in Lafayette, signing over a dozen education bills. Key measures include reducing mandates on educators, addressing students based on birth-assigned sexual orientation, and introducing the LA Gator education scholarship bill. This scholarship provides funding for parents to choose non-public schools for their children, starting with special needs and low-income families and eventually extending statewide. Additionally, a surprising bill was signed allowing school boards to accept volunteer chaplains, although this does not replace counselors. The announcement was attended by educators, legislators, and students.
A bill that allows Louisiana parents to use tax dollars to pay to send their kids to a school of their choice was signed into law today.

Certain medications can cause greater heat sensitivity, Sterlington pharmacist explains
SUMMARY: Summer has arrived with high temperatures, increasing the risk of heat injury, especially for those on certain medications. Fox 14's Jade Maloney reports that some medications can heighten sensitivity to heat, a fact often unknown to many patients. Pharmacist Michelle Goldman from Community Pharmacy of Starlington advises individuals to consult with their healthcare providers about potential risks. Some medications, such as antibiotics and blood pressure drugs with diuretics, make skin more sensitive to sun exposure. Proper storage of medications is also crucial to prevent them from deactivating. Staying hydrated, using sunscreen, and seeking shade are recommended precautions.
