More detail
The House requests a written report from the Louisiana Department of Education working with local public school authorities. The report should include information for each Louisiana public school district about care for students with seizure disorders. This is a request, not a binding reporting requirement. The report should cover written seizure response plans, staff training, medication access, and needs for guidance or support. The report is requested no later than January 1, 2027, for the House Committee on Health and Welfare.
The House encourages the Louisiana Department of Education to develop guidance and requests a study with recommendations. Recommendations should address seizure awareness and training, care access for students with doctor-prescribed seizure response plans, and statewide coordination and data collection. The department is encouraged to consult school districts and relevant groups when developing guidance. These requests do not guarantee students additional care or services.
The House encourages finding and seeking available funding for seizure training and support. Funding would support training, education, and resources for students with seizure disorders and school personnel. Potential sources include federal grants and partnerships. The resolution does not set aside money or guarantee funding.
