Louisiana Appleseed's Access to Education Program facilitates positive and equitable learning environments for public school children in grades K-12.  For example, many students were homeless and required advocate assistance to reenter school after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.  Appleseed facilitated homeless student enrollment during this time. As the landscape of public education changed with the introduction of charter schools, Louisiana Appleseed stepped up to assist these schools with information that became pivotal in general operations and compliance. More resources have expanded this program to include policy changes that allow children to access nutritious breakfasts and lunches, enabling them to learn at their best. Appleseed's Feed More for Less Project increased student access to breakfast and lunch from 65% of schools to 95%. Overall, Louisiana Appleseed supports access to public K-12 institutions that foster a positive, safe environment where children can thrive.
