STUDENTS: Requests the Department of Education to study implementation and accountability implications of student nonenrollment determinations.

This bill asks the Louisiana Department of Education to study how schools handle students who are marked as nonenrolled due to incarceration or missing status. Currently, these students are counted as enrolled for accountability purposes, which can unfairly lower a school's performance scores. The study will examine how to create a consistent process for verifying a student's actual status and analyzing the impact of current counting methods on school ratings. The department must submit a report with its findings to the Senate Education Committee by February 15, 2027.
