This bill amends R.S. 17:1964(D)(5) concerning the Jimmy D. Long, Sr. Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts. It grants the board of directors the authority to establish a salary schedule for teachers and other school employees, ensuring that salaries are determined in accordance with R.S. 17:418. Additionally, the bill specifies that the funding for these salaries will come from funds that are subject to legislative appropriation.

The new legal language inserted into the current law clarifies the board's responsibilities in determining faculty and staff positions necessary for the school's efficient operation, as well as the process for establishing and funding the salary schedule. This amendment aims to enhance the governance and financial management of the school, ensuring that compensation for educators is systematically addressed.
