House Resolution No. ___, introduced by Representative Young, urges the legislative fiscal office to update a report from February 2013 that examined the funding mechanisms for laboratory schools in Louisiana. This request follows a previous study conducted in response to SCR No. 137 during the 2012 Regular Session, which focused on the equity and fairness of funding methods and amounts for these educational institutions. The resolution emphasizes the need for a current analysis to ensure that funding practices remain just and effective.
The resolution mandates that the legislative fiscal office provide a written report of its findings and recommendations to the House Committee on Education at least 60 days before the 2026 Regular Session of the Legislature. This update aims to address any changes or developments in the funding landscape for laboratory schools since the last report, ensuring that the state's approach to financing these schools is equitable and meets current educational needs.
