TOPS TUITION PROGRAM: Louisiana's popular Taylor Opportunity Program for Students, known as TOPS, a college scholarship program, has grown from $50-million in 1999, to a cost of nearly $300-million this year. Lawmakers didn’t fully fund TOPS during the last legislative session. So a Task Force has been put together to make it sustainable. Jennings, Louisiana Senator Blade Morrish, chairman of the Senate Education Committee, will chair the task force and says they’ll look at how TOPS began and why, and what’s changed in over 20 years. The TOPS Task Force is scheduled to convene September 6th.
