This bill enacts a new provision under R.S. 17:8.1(F) that empowers the principal of each public school in Louisiana to notify parents when their child is assigned to a classroom with a temporary, uncertified teacher, a teacher holding a nonstandard teaching certificate, or a teacher who has been granted authorization to teach without certification. The intent of this legislation is to enhance transparency regarding teacher qualifications and ensure that parents are informed about the instructional staff their children are encountering.

The new legal language specifies that the notification must include details about the teacher's certification status, thereby providing parents with essential information about the educational environment. This measure aims to foster better communication between schools and families, ultimately supporting student success by keeping parents informed about the qualifications of their children's educators.
