RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 307 (HB 294) 2018 Regular Session Smith
Prior law referred to "at-risk" students in various education laws including those relative to
the weighted factors contained in the minimum foundation program formula, early childhood
education programs, charter schools, and pilot programs for certain inner-city youth.
New law refers to such students as "economically disadvantaged". Provides that
"economically disadvantaged" shall be as defined by the State Bd. of Elementary and
Secondary Education (BESE) in some instances. Deletes prior law provision that required
BESE to develop and implement a pilot program for inner-city at risk students in certain
parishes. Makes technical changes.
Effective August 1, 2018.
