## Resource

Hosanna Christian Academy, a Baton Rouge staple for over 40 years, is closing permanently at the end of July after hitting a nearly $900,000 financial deficit—caused by state scholarship funding cuts and plummeting enrollment. Despite being ready to reopen with classrooms set and records updated, the school’s executive director says the financial reality forced their hand, devastating families who relied on it—especially low-income households. Blaming “harmful changes” to programs like LA GATOR, the school laments that even though the governor proposed doubling scholarship funds, the Senate stalled. Enrollment dropped sharply as only one scholarship student entered from kindergarten, leaving the rest dependent on dwindling internal funds. While the church will continue, the future of the campus remains uncertain, leaving students, families, and staff heartbroken after decades of service.
