U.S. Rep. Rodney Alexander, R-Quitman, today announced that
the University of Louisiana at Monroe will receive $2,435,006

Louisiana Transition to Teaching (LA T2T). The check will be

four areas of the state. The project proposes to attract outstanding
candidates for critical shortage areas throughout the state and

new teachers selected from a broad range of highly qualified
mid-career professionals and recent college graduates from diverse
backgrounds. For the first year of the LA T2T program, ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ will
