The House Resolution urges the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) to recognize and incorporate increased funding provisions into the minimum foundation program (MFP) formula for the 2024-2025 Fiscal Year and beyond. This request follows the adoption of a funding formula for the 2023-2024 Fiscal Year, which includes significant pay raises for both certificated and noncertificated personnel, as well as funding for various educational initiatives. The resolution emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the additional funding provided outside the MFP formula during the 2023 Regular Session, specifically a $2,000 pay raise for certificated personnel and a $1,000 pay raise for noncertificated personnel.

The resolution reflects the legislature's intent to ensure that these funding increases are recognized in future MFP calculations, thereby supporting the ongoing financial needs of public education in Louisiana. A copy of the resolution will be sent to key state officials, including the governor and the president of BESE, to facilitate communication and implementation of this request.
