This bill amends and reenacts R.S. 17:6(A)(15) and enacts R.S. 17:6(A)(16), granting the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education the authority to promulgate rules that require the inclusion of certain topics in student instruction and in the training of teachers and other school employees. Additionally, it allows the board to perform other necessary functions related to the supervision and control of education.

The bill also repeals a significant number of existing laws, specifically R.S. 17:81(R), (T), (X), and (Y), along with various other sections that outline specific instructional and training requirements. The State Board is instructed to consider the topics from the repealed provisions for potential inclusion in the new requirements it may establish. This legislative change aims to streamline and modernize the instructional and training mandates for educators and students in Louisiana.
