House Resolution No. by Representative Phelps urges local public school boards and charter school governing authorities in Louisiana to create and implement strategic plans for the management and security of school buildings and properties in the event of school closures, which may arise due to declining enrollment. The resolution highlights community concerns regarding the safety and potential blight of vacant school campuses and emphasizes the need for proactive planning to address these issues effectively.

The resolution calls for school boards and charter authorities to engage with local stakeholders—including students, parents, teachers, law enforcement, and community leaders—through public hearings to gather input on the development of these strategic plans. It also suggests various options for repurposing vacant campuses, such as converting them into community centers or housing for teachers, or considering demolition if necessary. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the state superintendent of education for further dissemination to relevant parties.
