3:26regular legislative session 2026.
3:29>> Thank you.
3:30>> Well, good afternoon, board members, um
3:32Superintendent Dr. Fullmore. I'm happy
3:34to be here this afternoon to provide an
3:36overview of the 2026 legislative
3:38session.
3:39Um just to emphasize, this is really
3:41just an overview. This is not a
3:42comprehensive look at every bill this
3:45session. Um the bills I'm going to
3:46highlight today are just bills we
3:48heavily discussed during the session or
3:50we worked on in some capacity.
3:53Um just a little reminder of where we
3:55landed with our adopted 2026 legislative
3:57priorities.
4:01Um session adjourned on Monday, June
4:031st, and concluded with over 1,700 bills
4:07and 800 resolutions filed. Throughout
4:10session, we remained actively engaged
4:12with state legislatures, particularly
4:14the Orleans delegation, to advocate for
4:17and provide feedback on legislation
4:19aligned with the board's adopted 2026
4:22legislative priorities.
4:24While session initially lacked a
4:25defining theme, much of the
4:27legislature's attention shifted
4:29following the Louisiana Supreme Court's
4:31congressional redistricting um ruling,
4:34which significantly altered the pace and
4:35focus for the remainder of session.
4:38Additionally, teacher compensation
4:40became a major focus during the final
4:42days of session after voters rejected a
4:45teacher pay raise constitutional
4:47amendment on May 16th.
4:49The day after the regular session
4:50adjourned, the governor proposed a
4:52teacher stipend through an adjustment to
4:54the minimum foundation program through
4:56executive order 260047,
4:59which required approval by 2/3 of the
5:01legislature. The proposal quickly became
5:04the summer's most closely watched
5:06education issue and passed on June 24th,
5:092026.
5:13We're going to start off just with some
5:14items of interest throughout session.
5:16House Bill number one, this is the
5:18state's budget. Um it's just under 47
5:21billion at 46.2 billion to be exact for
5:25ordinary operating expenses.
5:27Um this includes just over 4 billion for
5:30the minimum foundation program.
5:32Additionally, in House Bill one, there
5:34was an allocation of $250,000
5:37to support programming at the Leah Chase
5:39school, which was requested by Senator
5:41Duplessis. Um so a big thank you to
5:43Senator Duplessis on that request. I
5:45know everyone here is incredibly
5:46grateful for that.
5:48I also did want to mention that in my
5:50beginning of session presentation a few
5:52months ago, I mentioned a resolution
5:54that had been filed for a slight
5:56increase to the supplemental dollars in
5:58level three of the MFP. That increase
6:01was not adopted and the allocation for
6:03the MFP has stayed the same as it has in
6:05previous years.
6:08House Bill 133, which is now Act 617,
6:12increases penalties for battery
6:14committed against a school teacher while
6:16the teacher is performing official
6:18duties or when the attack is motivated
6:20by a person's status as a teacher. It
6:23creates enhanced penalties when the
6:25battery results in serious bodily injury
6:28or injuries requiring medical attention.
6:31The penalties under this legislation
6:33depend on the offender and the
6:35seriousness of the injury, but for one
6:37example, if the person who commits the
6:39battery is a student and the victim does
6:42not suffer serious bodily injury, the
6:45student could face a fine up to a
6:47thousand dollars or 30 to 60 day 60
6:51months in prison.
6:53Additionally, this clarifies when a
6:55court shall commit a child to the
6:56custody of the Department of Public
6:58Safety and Corrections or to the custody
7:00of public or private institution for
7:02secure placement because the student
7:05committed a felony grade delinquent act
7:07of battery against a school teacher.
7:10House Bill 268, which is now Act 144,
7:14expands career exploration requirements
7:16for public school students beginning in
7:18elementary school.
7:20With House Bill 268, all schools must
7:22document at least one career related
7:25activity each year in a student's
7:27individual graduation plan for each
7:29student in grades six through eight.
7:31Previous law required schools to
7:33incorporate activities that expose
7:35students to in grades six to eight to
7:38career technical and academic fields of
7:40study. With this legislation, it now
7:42requires elementary schools to also
7:45provide students in grades K through 5
7:47with at least one career awareness
7:49experience each year.
7:52House Bill 283, which is Act 539, may be
7:56known and cited as the Teacher's Shield
7:59Act. It mandates that a principal must
8:01immediately recommend a minimum
8:03two-semester expulsion for any student
8:05found guilty of committing an assault or
8:08battery against a teacher by a corridor
8:10or school system suspension hearing. It
8:12is important to note that for this
8:14specific mandate, we are exempt from the
8:16requirements of 174416
8:18as it relates to expulsions.
8:21However, our parish-wide process already
8:23incorporated this.
8:25So.
8:26Additionally, this legislation specifies
8:29that teachers who are assaulted are
8:31allowed to use up to 1 year of their
8:33sick leave for medical or psychological
8:35treatment or physical rehab.
8:38Each school shall annually provide
8:40written notice at the beginning of each
8:42school year to each teacher and employee
8:44of their rights to take or request
8:46disciplinary action against a student.
8:49Important to note that teachers and
8:50school employees are covered by this
8:51provision only when they discipline
8:53students according to school policy.
8:55Notice shall include eligibility
8:57information on sick and personal leave.
9:00If a school employee is injured or by a
9:02student committed an assault or battery
9:03against them.
9:05And lastly, includes protections for
9:07students with disabilities clarifying
9:09that the any measure cannot override
9:11existing state or federal special
9:13education protections.
9:15House Bill 342, which is now Act 943.
9:19Previously, parents who filed a special
9:22education complaint carried the burden
9:24of demonstrating that the school
9:25district had failed to provide an
9:27appropriate education to the child with
9:29a disability.
9:30Under this new legislation, the burden
9:32of shift now the burden of proof now
9:34shifts to a school district requiring
9:36them to demonstrate that a student's
9:38individualized education program, their
9:40IEP, was appropriate and that the
9:42services outlined in the plan was
9:43properly implemented.
9:45Um Louisiana is the first state in the
9:47South to shift the burden of proof in
9:49due process hearings to school
9:51districts. Um however, it does follow
9:53similar action in eight eight other
9:54states across the country, including New
9:57Jersey, New York, Illinois, and
9:58Washington D.C.
10:01House Bill 352, Act 944. Um this bill
10:04amends several provisions of Louisiana
10:06Revised Statute 17:173,
10:09which pertains to behavioral health
10:10services for public school students. Um
10:13key changes include the requirement for
10:14public school governing authorities to
10:16adopt and publicly post policies
10:18regarding behavioral health for students
10:21and to include it in its student
10:22handbook. Um the the bill mandates that
10:25behavioral health services be allowed
10:27during school hours, provided that
10:29necessary evaluations and treatment
10:30plans are presented by a student's
10:32parent or guardian.
10:34Um and additionally, a big part of this
10:35is the bill introduces new definitions
10:37and procedures for the coordination of
10:40behavioral health services within
10:41schools. It establishes a school-based
10:44service delivery review meeting to
10:47facilitate communication between school
10:49personnel and behavioral health
10:50providers, ensuring that the delivery of
10:52services align with the educational
10:54needs of a student.
10:57House Bill 8 Sorry, House Bill 386,
11:00which is now Act 797, authorizes a
11:03charter school to be considered its own
11:05LEA in certain circumstances for funding
11:07purposes. Um this is already in practice
11:09here in Orleans Parish. However, this
11:11allows other school districts to have
11:12the same ability. Um we did have some
11:15initial concerns um in the original
11:17wording of this bill that was not
11:18specifically clear on what funding would
11:21be allowed to flow directly to schools.
11:23Um we did work with LAPCS to get some
11:25clarifying language, making it clear
11:27that this is for federal funding
11:28purposes only. Um as that that was the
11:31original intent of the bill, it just
11:33needed some clarification. Um, so thank
11:35you Tally PCS for working on it working
11:37with us on that amendment.
11:40House Bill 690, which is Act 824, uh,
11:44prohibits education agencies from
11:45contracting with individuals or entities
11:48that are identified as foreign
11:49adversaries, their agents, or foreign
11:51terrorist groups.
11:52Uh, mandates that education agencies
11:54must suspend payments to any provider or
11:56vendor found in violation of this. And
11:58it requires that all contracts include a
12:00statement acknowledging the
12:02applicability of provisions and
12:03stipulates that any prohibited conduct
12:06will lead to the immediate suspension of
12:07payments.
12:10Um, House Bill 1003, which is now um,
12:12Act 687.
12:14Um, this requires the Orleans Parish
12:17School Board to adopt a policy relative
12:19to system-wide overcapacity. This was
12:21really covered earlier today in the
12:22presentation of policy HG, um, but I
12:25will quickly just highlight a few main
12:27timeline requirements of Act um, 687, so
12:30you can see how these provisions have
12:32been incorporated into the policy from
12:33earlier.
12:35Um, it requires the superintendent to
12:37submit a written report to the school
12:39board by using the most recent available
12:40enrollment data by November 15th of each
12:43year. The report shall include a formal
12:45determination of whether the district is
12:47in a state of overcapacity of schools.
12:49By December 15th, upon determination of
12:51overcapacity, the superintendent shall
12:53recommend to the school board specific
12:55actions to be implemented the following
12:57school year to mitigate overcapacity.
12:59Um, and the superintendent may implement
13:01recommendations submitted to the board
13:03unless the board rejects the
13:04recommendations by a two-thirds vote.
13:07Um, I did want to add here, there were
13:09some questions earlier about if BESE
13:10could still authorize a charter. Um, it
13:12is our understanding that this does not
13:14prohibit BESE from authorizing a charter
13:16in our area. This bill was a specific
13:18Orleans Parish bill. Um, so that's
13:21something we can look into more and have
13:22more conversations, but that is our
13:23understanding.
13:26House Bill 1079, which is Act 699. This
13:30authorizes charter schools to give
13:32preferential enrollment to students who
13:35attended an licensed early learning
13:37center operated by the charter school or
13:40licensed early learning center that the
13:42charter school has an enrollment
13:43articulation agreement with. Um working
13:46with our enrollment team, we expressed
13:48quite a few concerns around this. One of
13:50being our unique enrollment system here
13:52at NOLA Public Schools um and whether
13:54this would be feasible with N cap um and
13:56how to the ability to verify such
13:58information. Um two being the reality
14:01that the more enrollment preferences or
14:04preferential that we add um the fewer
14:06seats that we leave for students who
14:07don't fall into any of those categories.
14:10Um so with those concerns, um we did
14:12work with Representative Boudreaux um
14:14who was totally understanding and worked
14:17on an amendment to exempt us due to the
14:18uniqueness of our system.
14:23Um moving into some Senate bills. I
14:26promise I'm I'm getting towards the end,
14:28I promise.
14:29Um Senate Bill 132, which is Act 738,
14:33requires each public school governing
14:34authority to install at least one
14:36exterior master key box at each public
14:39school campus that does not currently
14:41have a system for allowing access to
14:43locked facilities to law enforcement
14:45officials or other first responders no
14:48later than January 1st of 2028 using
14:51funds appropriated by the legislature to
14:53the Louisiana Center for Safe Schools.
14:56Um they define an exterior master key
14:59box as a secure wall-mounted anti-theft
15:02resistant container that is installed
15:04inside a outside a school building to
15:06provide first responders
15:08with immediate access to the school
15:10during a school crisis to allow for
15:12rapid response and rescue.
15:17Uh Senate Bill 157, which is now Act
15:20744.
15:22This establishes a framework for 6 weeks
15:25of paid parental leave at 100% of base
15:28pay for eligible public and charter
15:30school employees following the birth or
15:32adoption of a child. It creates the paid
15:35parental leave for educators fund, which
15:37is intended to reimburse LEAs for the
15:40cost of a substitute teacher while an
15:41employee is on leave for up to 6 weeks.
15:45Um no funding has been appropriated to
15:47this fund at this time. As a result, the
15:50benefit is not yet available until the
15:52legislature um provides funding.
15:54Although implant implantation depends on
15:57future appropriations,
15:59this legislation does establish a policy
16:01framework and represents a significant
16:03step towards providing paid parental
16:05leave for Louisiana educators. Um so to
16:08recap, the Parental Leave for Educator
16:10Educators Act only takes effect upon
16:13funding by the state. We will be sure to
16:15keep an eye on this law in future years
16:17in the event that funding is provided
16:19for its implantation.
16:21Um Senate Bill 482, which is Act 413,
16:25amends existing laws regarding
16:26individual graduation plans for public
16:29middle and high school students in
16:30Louisiana. It now allows for the
16:33inclusion of career coaches in the
16:34development of these plans alongside
16:36parents, legal guardians, and school
16:38counselors. The bill specifies that by
16:40the end of eighth grade, students must
16:42begin creating an individual graduation
16:44plan with the assistance of a career
16:46coach if applicable.
16:48Um
16:50Some other highlights requires an
16:51inclusion of description of career
16:53coaching plans and pupil progression
16:55plans.
16:56Um and additionally requires the State
16:58Department of Education to annually
17:00publish information on school boards
17:02that have not utilized their career
17:05development funds effectively,
17:07specifically those school boards who
17:08have not spent 95% of their career
17:10development funds.
17:14House Concurrent Resolution 81. Um HCR
17:1781 requires that the State Department of
17:20Education study options for public
17:22school systems facing declining
17:24enrollment and submit a written report
17:26of findings and conclusions, including
17:28any recommendations for related
17:30legislation to the House and Senate
17:32Committees on Education no later than
17:34March 1 of 2027.
17:36Senate Concurrent Resolution 80.
17:39This creates a task force to study the
17:41Minimum Foundation Program and conduct a
17:44comprehensive top-to-bottom review of
17:47the Minimum Foundation Program formula
17:49and to develop a recommended
17:51restructured formula framework that
17:53improves transparency, equity,
17:55predictability, and long-term
17:57sustainability, including permanent and
18:00predictable funding mechanisms for pay
18:02raises for teachers and support staff,
18:05and to submit a report with proposed
18:07recommendations and new formula language
18:10to the legislature by January 1st of
18:122027.
18:13The task force will consist of 15
18:15members as laid out in the resolution
18:17and includes different legislators and
18:19education leaders.
18:22Two more.
18:24Um this is Senate Bill 121. It's now
18:26known as Act 2. While Act 2 is not
18:29necessarily a bill that connects to one
18:31of our legislative priorities, I did
18:33want to mention it here um just as it
18:36did become a defining bill and really
18:38the theme of this session. Senate Bill
18:40121 is the congressional redistricting
18:43measure authored by Senator Morris that
18:45redrew the state's US House districts.
18:48The bill was introduced in response to
18:50the US Supreme Court ruling that struck
18:52down Louisiana's previous congressional
18:54map. In the end, Senate Bill 121 created
18:57a 5-1 congressional map and essentially
18:59retained the New Orleans based second
19:01district.
19:05And while I know that we are all
19:06familiar with House Bill 795, I just
19:08wanted to briefly highlight the bill and
19:11some of the district's advocacy efforts
19:12throughout this legislative session. Um,
19:15House Bill 795 would have limited fees
19:18charged pursuant to agreements between
19:20taxing authorities in Orleans Parish for
19:23tax collection services to no more than
19:245% of the collection.
19:27Although this bill was scheduled for its
19:29first committee hearing, it was removed
19:31from the agenda and never heard during
19:32session.
19:34From the time the bill was filed, we
19:35treated House Bill 795 as a
19:37high-priority legislative issue. The
19:40finance department proactively analyzed
19:42the potential financial implications and
19:44provided materials to support
19:46discussions with legislatures.
19:48We engaged extensively with the Orleans
19:50delegation and committee members
19:52providing
19:53Orleans Parish School Board Resolution
19:55826, which opposed House Bill 795,
19:58analysis of the bill's potential
20:00financial impact on the district, and
20:02ongoing availability to answer questions
20:04and provide additional information
20:05throughout the entire legislative
20:07process.
20:08Although the bill ultimately was not
20:10heard, we remained actively engaged for
20:12the duration of session in the event
20:14that it was rescheduled for
20:15consideration.
20:16House Bill 795 required significant
20:19coordination and communication across
20:21multiple district departments,
20:23demonstrating the district's proactive
20:24approach to legislative advocacy and
20:27protecting um local resources.
20:30And I'll just take a moment here as I
20:31wrap up, especially since this item was
20:33heavily collaborated on with multiple
20:35departments, that um during a
20:37legislative session I send what feels
20:39like a never-ending stream of emails and
20:41text messages and requests from many,
20:43many people, and um the chiefs,
20:46different departments, of course working
20:47very closely with Mr. Zervigon,
20:49Superintendent Dr. Follette, everyone
20:51gets a lot of information, a lot of
20:52updates, um a lot of requests with
20:55sometimes very short turnaround times,
20:57and every single one of our departments
20:58and chiefs were incredibly responsive
21:00and engaged during this session, which
21:02really makes this work possible. Um and
21:04of course a big thank you to our
21:05lobbyist who teach us empathy and Rodney
21:07Braxton.
21:09And then as we look ahead
21:12the 2020 session, 2027 session will
21:15convene in April, which seems so far
21:17away, but really it will be here before
21:20we know it. Um we've already begun
21:21looking at legislative priorities and
21:23the potential agenda items for next
21:25year. Um the 2027 session is a fiscal
21:28session, which means legislatures are
21:30allowed a maximum of five bills of
21:32general nature, and we typically do see
21:35more finance focused bills um during
21:37that session.
21:38Um until then, we plan to stay very
21:41engaged with the MFP task force, um
21:44which will have its first meeting next
21:46month on August 13th. Um we of course
21:48plan to attend those meetings and be as
21:51engaged as we are allowed to be
21:52throughout that process. Um but that is
21:55the end of my presentation. I'm happy to
21:56answer any questions.
21:58>> Uh any questions for Ms. Lund?
22:00Ms. Yeah.
22:01>> Just have I just have one Well, actually
22:03two. Um for House Bill 342, what did you
22:06say the act was? Was it 942? I think I
22:09might have wrote it down wrong.
22:10>> Let me see.
22:12342?
22:14>> Yes. House Bill
22:15>> Act 943.
22:16>> 943.
22:17>> Mhm.
22:17>> And then my other question is, cuz I
22:19know sometimes I and I'm I may have
22:21gotten this wrong,
22:22but all things don't always apply to
22:24charters, correct?
22:26>> That's correct.
22:26>> And so which one of these things apply
22:29to charters and which just applies to
22:31the district?
22:32>> So that's a great question. It's going
22:34to differ for everything. I will say
22:36LAPCS does a phenomenal job. They take
22:38care of their charters. They send their
22:39charters their own kind of document of
22:42all the things that are applicable for
22:43charters. Um for us in this
22:45presentation, you know, we focus on we
22:47have the Aliyah Chase School, we're a
22:48school district, we have charters, so
22:49it's a lot of everything. Um I tried to
22:52in a few mention this applies to
22:53charters or if I didn't, but I will tell
22:55you charters do have information from
22:57LAPCS on what directly applies to them.
23:00Um and we as a district, you know, you
23:01have to go back and check statutes of
23:03what applies to us. Thank you. Of
23:05course.
23:06>> Any other
23:08board questions or comments?
23:10You know, I would, um,
23:11I thank the team for for doing a really
23:14great job in what can be a very
23:16complicated and and sometimes very
23:18hostile environment. And I don't just
23:19mean hostile towards Orleans, I mean
23:22hostile towards public education. And
23:25it's very
23:26difficult sometimes with, uh, you know,
23:30what is it, a you know, 160 members,
23:32whatever, to try to get people to
23:34understand
23:36what our system is, how does it
23:37function, when does it apply, when do we
23:40need things cleared up. But with the
23:41work with LAPCS, with the Louisiana
23:43School Board Association, with the
23:45Superintendents Association, and so
23:46forth, our team is able to pretty much
23:49get done what we need to get done to get
23:51people to realize in a very friendly way
23:53we're asking for this little amendment
23:54because otherwise it's going to have
23:55these unintended
23:57consequences for us that never occurred
24:00to them. And and I feel like, uh, the
24:02team is able to approach just about
24:03anybody and get that conversation going
24:07in order to just protect what we're
24:09doing here from things that people don't
24:12even realize could be difficult for us.
24:13So,
24:14um, kudos to that
24:16uh, for everyone in their hard work in
24:18maintaining those relationships with a
24:19diverse number of people that we have to
24:20work with because we find ourselves
24:22with, uh, a foot in a in a lot of
24:24different places. So, um, thank you for
24:27everyone and look forward to, um, next
24:28session and and and that MFP task force.
24:32And maybe we'll have to have this
24:34committee meet for updates,
24:36uh, in order to get a clarification on
24:39what is going on with that because
24:41that's a little nerve-wracking. Yes,
24:42Superintendent.
24:43>> No, I just wanted to take this
24:44opportunity to thank, uh, Julianne for
24:47her leadership and stewardship, uh, this
24:49year. It was a lot going on as it is
24:52every session, but you do it with such
24:54grace and a smile,
24:56um, and also with strategy. And so, I
24:58want to thank you for your leadership
25:00during this time and just coordination
25:02of all of the different entities that
25:04have to work together on behalf of our
25:06schools and students. So, and the
25:08proactivity for us already being on it
25:11for next year already. So, thank you
25:13both and the work that you've done with
25:15Mr. Zervigon on this. So, thank you.
25:17>> Thank you.
25:18>> Thank you.
25:19All right. Then there are no action
25:21items. So, there's
25:22nothing else on the agenda. No further
25:24items on the agenda. May I have a motion
25:26to adjourn?
25:27>> So moved.
25:28>> All right. It's been motioned by
25:30Ms. Griffin, seconded by Mr. Parker. All
25:33those in favor?
25:34>> Aye.
25:34>> Aye.
25:35>> Any opposed? All right. Then it is 5:15
25:38and we are adjourned.
