SCHOOLS: Provides for the "Charlie Kirk Success Sequencing Act" relative to student success. (8/1/26) (EG SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)
SB 269, the "Charlie Kirk Success Sequencing Act," requires Louisiana public and nonpublic high schools to provide students with information about a specific "success sequence" designed to reduce poverty risk. The bill mandates teaching that students should complete three steps in order: earn a high school diploma or equivalent, enter full-time work (either immediately or after postsecondary education), and marry before having children. This is based on cited statistics linking this sequence to lower poverty rates, higher graduation rates, and reduced incarceration, as outlined in the bill's legislative findings. The law applies directly to Louisiana high school students through required curriculum content in preventive education or program of study offerings.
