Louisiana HB1062 revises the membership, powers, and duties of the Special School District's board of directors.

Louisiana HB1062 amends the membership, powers, and duties of the Special School District's board of directors. The bill removes the requirement for the governor to appoint board members from specific public health regions and eliminates certain powers, such as purchasing land and equipment and making improvements to facilities. It also removes the requirement for the board to prescribe and select free textbooks and other instructional materials, instead authorizing the superintendent to make these selections based on state Department of Education guidelines.
