  • Oppose Constitutional Convention Q4: Repeal GPO/WEP Q5
    LEGISLATORS RESPONSES TO THE LRTA SURVEY The Louisiana Retired Teachers Association surveyed political candidates during the 2019 election cycles. The Association asked the candidates the following questions: 1. LRTA opposes any legislation that would alter the defined benefit structure of the Teachers’ Retirement System of Louisiana (TRSL). During previous legislative sessions, several bills were created to switch the current defined benefit plan provided by TRSL to a hybrid plan. LRTA continues to oppose these bills, such as SB 14 (2018) and HB 28 (2019). If similar bills appeared in future legislative sessions, would you oppose or veto these bills? 2. LRTA supports Permanent Benefit Increases (PBIs) when the criteria to grant one is met. TRSL benefit recipients have not received a PBI since 2016. Would you support legislation to grant a PBI should TRSL meet the criteria to grant one? 3. LRTA opposes constitutional conventions that would remove budgetary protections for education and retirement. If constitutional convention is proposed in a future legislative session, would you oppose or veto these bills? 4. LRTA supports the repeal of the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP). The GPO and the WEP are Social Security federal provisions that reduce retired public employee’s individual Social Security and survivor benefits. Retired teachers in Louisiana are subject to the GPO and WEP. Given the opportunity, would you support the repeal of the GPO and WEP? 5. LRTA supports teacher and support staff pay raises and adequately funding education through the Minimum Foundation Program (MFP). Do you support teacher pay raises and adequately funding education through the MFP?

  • August 16, 2021 Board of Elementary and Secondary Education 1201
    August 16, 2021 Board of Elementary and Secondary Education 1201 North Third Street Suite 5-190 Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802 Dear BESE Members, We are writing on behalf of frustrated parents, grandparents, and guardians across the state regarding the most recent proclamation issued by Governor Edwards on August 2, 2021 mandating masks across the state, including in K-12 schools. The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education should consider the questions raised by parents concerning the constitutional rights of students. Louisiana Constitution Article 8, Section 3(A) provides that BESE shall supervise and control the public elementary and secondary schools and special schools under its jurisdiction. In addition, in the absence of any specific legislative intent to the contrary, BESE may, if it chooses, adopt rules governing COVID-19 safety protocols, such as temperature checks, the option of mask mandates or exceptions to mask mandates, and other protocols that BESE determines are needed. Please use this authority to act on behalf of parents and local school leaders, just as your Board agreed to do earlier in the pandemic. BESE can establish a position that gives direction to each school board based on local health risks. On behalf of parents across our districts, we stand united for BESE control and respect for parental rights in these matters. Our schools did well last year when the state provided the direction and resources required to manage their affairs. These local education leaders are ready to move forward at your direction to deliver continued success and safety for their students. Please use your Constitutional authority to protect Louisiana families and give direction to our local school boards and its parents.
