The School Board Disclosure reminder letters were mailed on July 3, 2024. The notices were sent to the schools’ point of contact to remind all superintendents, school board members, and members of charter school boards of directors pursuant to La. R.S. 42:1119B(2)(a) that they are required to file a School Board Disclosure Statement (Form 403) with the Louisiana Board of Ethics if they have an immediate family member employed by the school system or charter school during the 2024-2025 school year (see attached sample of the letter).
Act 50 of the 2022 Regular Legislative Session, effective August 1, 2022, requires the school board statements to be filed with the Louisiana Board of Ethics by September 15th of each school year.
Link to School Board Disclosure (Form 403)
It is the responsibility of the superintendent and each school board member to file their disclosure statement. A separate School Board Disclosure Statement must be completed for each immediate family member employed by the school system. Failure to file a disclosure statement in a timely manner will result in a fine of fifty dollars ($50) per day.
If a superintendent, school board member, or charter school board member does not have an immediate family member employed by the school system, the filing of a disclosure statement is not required.
If the superintendent, board member, or family member is no longer employed by the school district or charter school, please contact our office, indicating the filer or family member is no longer employed with the school district or charter school. |
