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 or uncertified teacher. The notification must include information about whether the teacher holds a nonstandard teaching certificate and the specific type of certificate, or if the teacher 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 credentials of the educators responsible for their children's education. By mandating this notification, the bill aims to foster greater accountability within the public school system.
