Louisiana Key Academy is a public charter school network dedicated to serving students with dyslexia through evidence-based, structured literacy instruction. Led by CEO Dr. Laura Cassidy and CFO Jonathan Snyder, the network operates three campuses in Baton Rouge, Covington, and Shreveport, serving grades 1–8. As the region’s only tuition-free public charter network focused exclusively on students with reading disabilities, Louisiana Key Academy fills a critical gap for families seeking specialized academic support. HOPE provided approximately $7.5 million in facility financing to support the acquisition of the newly renovated Baton Rouge campus and refinance its construction loan into long-term permanent debt. This investment enables Friends of Louisiana Key Academy, the supporting nonprofit, to secure ownership of its largest campus—ensuring long-term stability and predictable occupancy costs. “We are thankful for HOPE for providing financial margin to support classrooms,” said Snyder. By helping Louisiana Key Academy establish a permanent home, HOPE’s financing strengthens organizational sustainability, protects instructional continuity for hundreds of students, and expands access to specialized public education for families with limited options. The transaction reflects HOPE’s ongoing commitment to educational equity, disability access, and community-centered growth.
