HB 452 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

SCHOOLS/CHARTER: Provides for charter school board members

HB 452 prohibits members of a charter school's governing board who have been replaced (reconstituted) due to specific circumstances from also holding a public office defined under Louisiana law. This applies directly to charter school board members in Louisiana who are appointed to replace an existing board. The bill adds this restriction to Louisiana's charter school law, requiring that such board members cannot serve simultaneously in elected or appointed public roles like city council or parish office. The law would take effect upon gubernatorial approval or legislative override of a veto. This is a procedural change affecting charter school governance rules, not a new funding or program.
