Senate Bill No. proposes a constitutional amendment to grant the St. George community school system in East Baton Rouge Parish the same authority as parishes to operate a school system. The amendment seeks to modify Article VIII, Section 13(D)(1) of the Louisiana Constitution, which currently recognizes the Central and Zachary community school systems, as well as the municipalities of Baker, Monroe, and Bogalusa, as parishes for the purposes of operating a school system. The proposed amendment will include the St. George community school system in this classification, allowing it to have the same authority regarding funding and local revenue generation for elementary and secondary education.

The bill outlines that the proposed amendment will be submitted to voters during the statewide election scheduled for November 15, 2025. The ballot proposition will ask electors whether they support granting the St. George community school system the same authority as parishes under Article VIII, Section 13, which includes provisions related to the minimum foundation program, funding for school materials, and local revenue raising for educational support. The amendment retains existing constitutional provisions that prohibit the use of state dollars in a discriminatory manner regarding educational opportunities.
