FOIA Request to Louisiana State Board of Education Regarding Instructional Mandates for State K-12 Schools on December 10, 2024.
In a recent effort to promote transparency and accountability in public institutions, we at Pelican State News have sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Louisiana State Board of Education. The request, dated December 10, 2024, seeks detailed information about the instructional mandates for state K-12 schools.
The specific records requested include a comprehensive list of all required courses and general instruction mandated by the state for K-12 education. This request was made under the provisions of the Louisiana Public Records Act § 44:1 et seq., with a preference for electronic format delivery.
As an organization dedicated to providing accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, access to such public records is crucial for us at Pelican State News. These records will aid us in our mission to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public.
In our role as media professionals disseminating information to the public, we have also requested a fee waiver associated with this FOIA request.
We eagerly await the response from the Louisiana State Board of Education and remain committed to keeping our readers informed about matters that affect local education policies and practices.
