The country's top education chief was slated to tour a Baton Rouge school Monday and host a roundtable discussion about Louisiana's academic progress.

The roundtable was expected to include discussions with local educators, administrators, and community leaders, aimed at addressing the challenges and successes within Louisiana's education system.
