House Resolution No. by Representative Jordan urges the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to provide detailed information regarding contracts and agreements related to the acquisition of educational materials by the state Department of Education. This request is directed to the House Committee on Education, the House Executive Committee, and the Legislative Audit Advisory Council, with a deadline for submission set for January 1, 2025. The resolution emphasizes the importance of transparency in the educational materials used in Louisiana public schools, particularly those procured outside the standard review process.

The resolution is grounded in Louisiana law, which mandates the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to oversee the review, adoption, procurement, and distribution of free textbooks and instructional materials for elementary and secondary students. It also highlights the role of parents and the public in the review process, reflecting a growing interest in understanding the content being taught in classrooms. By requesting this information, the resolution aims to ensure accountability and transparency in the educational system.
