Louisiana SB224 removes the requirement for school boards to publish local notices in the parish journal for changes in compensation.

Louisiana SB224 amends the notice requirement for school boards when voting on changes to compensation. Currently, school boards must publish notices in the parish journal two separate days within 15 days before the meeting. The bill changes this to require posting on the school board's official website for 15 days before the meeting. This change applies to any proposal to change compensation from a per diem basis to an expense allowance basis. The amendment takes effect on August 1, 2026.
