Education

SB 338 requires Louisiana schools to follow specific procedures for investigating student bullying reports. It directly affects schools, students involved in bullying incidents, and their parents or guardians. The bill mandates that schools take disciplinary action against bullies after confirming incidents, report criminal bullying to police, and require bullies and their parents to complete court-approved decision-making courses. The State Board of Education must develop these procedures, which include parent meetings before disciplinary steps. The bill is pending review by the Education Committee after being prefiled on February 27, 2026.

This bill is a concurrent resolution that formally commends Grambling State University on its 125th anniversary and recognizes its contributions to education, leadership, and public service in Louisiana. It does not create any new laws or change existing policies, but rather serves as an official statement of appreciation from the state legislature. The resolution acknowledges the university's history, including its founding in 1901 and its motto "Where Everybody is Somebody," while extending best wishes to the university community.
