1Opinion of the CourtGenovese, Justice
We are called upon to determine whether the lower court erred in declaring unconstitutional certain provisions of Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 55 of 2014, which applies the formula contained in La.R.S. 17:3995 and allocates Minimum Foundation Program ("MFP") funding to New Type 2 charter schools. In accordance with our legally-mandated de novo review, we find the court of appeal erred in declaring the constitution prohibits the payment of MFP funds to New Type 2 charter schools. Thus, the appellate court's declaration of unconstitutionality is reversed.
