The Senate Concurrent Resolution establishes the K-12 School Safety Task Force in Louisiana, aimed at enhancing safety and security measures in public schools. This initiative arises from the recognition of the importance of providing a safe learning environment for students and educators, especially in light of recent national concerns regarding school safety. The task force will conduct a comprehensive review of current safety practices and propose legislative recommendations to improve security, with the goal of increasing student attendance, fostering trust in educational institutions, and reducing violent incidents on school grounds.

The task force will consist of various stakeholders, including members from the Senate and House Committees on Education, law enforcement, educational associations, and community representatives. It is tasked with conducting physical safety assessments of schools every three years, reporting serious threats to the Louisiana State Analytical & Fusion Exchange, and submitting a written report with recommendations to the legislature by March 1, 2026. The task force will be staffed by the Senate Committee on Education and will operate without compensation, except for potential reimbursement of expenses. The task force is set to convene its first meeting by September 15, 2025, and will dissolve upon the submission of its report or by the specified deadline.
