This bill directs the Louisiana Department of Education to establish a task force focused on researching how families and parents can better engage with the education system. The task force must include representatives from the Louisiana School Boards Association, the Louisiana Association of Public Charter Schools, and Louisiana CASA, in addition to other members. The group is required to complete its research and submit a written report to the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education and the House Education Committee by December 31, 2025. This legislation aims to gather specific data on parent involvement without mandating any immediate changes to existing school policies.
