Senate Bill No. 224, introduced by Senator Fesi, amends the notice requirements for school boards in Louisiana regarding changes in compensation. The bill removes the requirement for school boards to advertise in the official journal of the parish and instead mandates that they post the time and place of meetings on their official website. This change applies to meetings where members vote on compensation methods and mileage allowances, as well as any proposed changes from a per diem compensation basis to an expense allowance basis.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any proposed changes must be posted on the school board's official website for a period of fifteen days prior to the meeting, rather than being published in the official journal. This shift aims to streamline the notification process for school board meetings and enhance accessibility for the public. The changes will take effect on August 1, 2026.
