HB1059

Provides relative to core curriculum requirements for TOPS and TOPS-Tech awards in the subject of mathematics (EN NO IMPACT See Note)

Complete·6/2/26

Louisiana HB1059 revises core curriculum requirements for TOPS and TOPS-Tech awards in mathematics.

Louisiana HB1059 amends the Taylor Opportunity Program for Students (TOPS) to modify high school core curriculum requirements in mathematics. The bill allows students to substitute Integrated Mathematics I for Algebra I, Integrated Mathematics II for Geometry, and Integrated Mathematics III for Algebra II, individually rather than requiring a complete three-course sequence. This change applies to students graduating during the 2026-2027 school year and later. The bill retains the requirement of four units of mathematics for eligibility for TOPS and TOPS-Tech awards.
