House Resolution No. by Representative Horton authorizes the state Department of Education to conduct a study on the reporting practices of school systems regarding incidents of child abuse and sexual assault committed by school employees against students. The resolution emphasizes the critical role educators play in children's lives and the necessity for consistent and thorough reporting of such incidents across all school systems in Louisiana. It highlights the serious consequences of child sexual abuse and references existing laws that mandate reporting by individuals who are aware of such offenses.

The resolution requires the Department of Education to submit a written report of its findings to the House Committee on Education at least thirty days before the start of the 2025 Regular Session of the Legislature. Additionally, a copy of the resolution will be sent to the state superintendent of education to ensure proper communication and follow-up on the study's outcomes.
