WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Louisiana School Employees'
Retirement System is charged with the fiduciary duty of administering all laws
relative to the system including R.S. 11:1195.1 and 1195.2; and

WHEREAS, school districts face changing work environments and desire more
certainty regarding their obligations toward the unfunded accrued liability attributable to
such eliminated positions; and
WHEREAS, the legislature has a constitutional obligation to maintain the actuarial
soundness of the state's retirement systems and therefore has a vested interest in ensuring
proper execution of its retirement laws.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislature of Louisiana does hereby
request the Louisiana School Employees' Retirement System and the Louisiana School
Boards Association to jointly develop a process for appealing to the board of trustees any
disputes arising from audits performed by the retirement system staff relative to privatized
