SR 119 Louisiana Senate · 2025 Regular Session

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT: Requests the Louisiana Department of Education to develop and implement a system for collecting and reporting aggregated, non-identifiable data on suicide risk assessments conducted in public schools.

This resolution (SR 119) requests the Louisiana Center for Safe Schools - not the Department of Education - to create a system for public schools to collect and report aggregated, non-identifiable data on student suicide risk assessments. It directly affects Louisiana public schools, which would provide summarized, anonymous data on these assessments. The key mechanism requires the Center to develop a standardized reporting process for this data, ensuring no personally identifiable information is shared. The bill is procedural in nature, focusing solely on data collection protocols without creating new requirements or funding.
