DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY

Department of Agriculture and Forestry

Office of Animal Health and Food Safety

Movement of Turtle Eggs and Turtles (LAC 7:XXI.1909)

In accordance with the emergency provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, R.S. 49:953(B), and pursuant to the authority set forth in R.S. 3:2358.2 and 3:2358.10, notice is hereby given that the Department of Agriculture and Forestry is extending an Emergency Rule amending LAC 7:XXI.1909 regarding requirements for international shipments of turtles.The Emergency Rule was initially published at LR 42:512 and was renewed at LR 42:1266.

Currently, LAC 7:XXI.1909 requires a health certificate and certified laboratory report accompany all international shipments, irrespective of whether the country of destination requires the same.Louisiana is the only state in the nation with these exit requirements in lieu of following the entry requirements for the country of destination.The current regulation is overly burdensome and adds additional cost to Louisiana turtle farmers attempting to ship their commodities internationally. By amending LAC 7:XXI.1909 to require a health certificate and certified laboratory report when required by the country of destination, instead of for every international shipment, Louisiana turtle farmers will no longer be subject to an unfair trade disadvantage.

This Rule shall have the force and effect of law on November 28, 2016, and will remain in effect 120 days, unless renewed by the commissioner of agriculture and forestry, or until permanent rules are promulgated in accordance with law.

DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY

Board of Elementary and Secondary Education

Bulletin 126Charter Schools
(LAC 28:CXXXIX.Chapter 27)

The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) has exercised the emergency provision in accordance with R.S. 49:953(B), the Administrative Procedure Act, and R.S. 17.6 to amend LAC 28:CXXXIX, Bulletin 126Charter Schools: §2701, Students Eligible to Attend; §2703, Enrollment Capacity; §2707, Application Period; and §2709, Enrollment of Students, Lottery, and Waitlist.The initial Declaration of Emergency, effective for 120 days (from August 19, 2016, until December 16, 2016) is being extended beyond the initial period for an additional 120 days (from December 17, 2016, until April 15, 2017) and will remain in effect until the Rule is finally adopted.

The proposed revisions enable state-authorized charter schools to enroll students displaced as a result of the recent federally declared disaster, Louisiana Severe Storms and Flooding(DR-4277). BESE has exercised the emergency provision in the adoption of these policy revisions to ensure students impacted by DR-4277 continue to receive a high-quality education as their communities and schools rebuild.

Title 28

EDUCATION

Part CXXXIX. Bulletin 126Charter Schools

Chapter 27.Charter School Recruitment and Enrollment

§2701.Students Eligible to Attend

A.Type 2 Charter Schools. Students meeting residency requirements established in a type 2 charter school's charter are eligible to attend a type 2 charter school. A type 2 charter school may establish residency requirements for students living within the state or may establish residency requirements restricted to a particular parish or parishes.

1.Type 2 charter schools shall collect and verify documents substantiating the residency of each student prior to submitting residency information to statewide student information system. Acceptable documents shall be as follows:

a.mortgage (if owned);

b.tax assessor’s bill (if owned);

c.homestead exemption bill (if owned);

d.current lease of residence for the school year (if leased);

e.current rent receipt (if leased);

f.previous two months utility bill (Disconnect notices are not acceptable.):

i. gas;

ii.water or sewer;

iii.telephone (land line only);

iv.cable or satellite television bill;

v.internet service;

g.current driver’s license or government-issued identification;

h.current official letter from a government agency such as Department of Children and Family Services or Department of Health regarding services provided; or

i.current bank statements.

2.The name of the parent or legal custodians must appear on each document and the addresses must match on all documents. The residency information must be updated annually prior to the start of school for the student to be enrolled in that school year.

3.If the parent or legal custodian neither owns nor rents a residence and is therefore living with another individual, the parent or legal custodian must provide a notarized affidavit of residency signed by the parent or legal custodian of the student as well as the individual with whom the parent or legal custodian is living. The affidavit of residency must attest to the following:

a.student’s name;

b.name of parent or legal custodian;

c.address of parent or legal custodian;

d.name of the person with whom the parent or legal custodian is living;

e.a statement of attestation by the parent or legal custodian that the student is living with him at the address recorded on the affidavit and that the student has no other residence or domicile; and

f.a statement of attestation by the person with whom the parent or legal custodian is living that these persons in fact live with the individual listed.

4.The person with whom the parent or legal custodian and student are living (who has signed the notarized affidavit) must provide three forms of evidence of residency from the acceptable list of documents outlined above.

5.If parents are separated, divorced or if the legal custodian is other than the biological parents, legal custody documents, signed by a judge with a docket number, indicating the legal custodian or domiciliary parent must be provided.

6.The residency requirements must also be included in the application requirements section contained in exhibit D of the type 2 charter school contracts.

7.Nothing in this policy shall prohibit the admission or readmission to school of a student who meets the definition of homeless under the federal McKinney-Vento Act (42 U.S.C. 11431 et seq.).

B.Type 4 Charter Schools. Only students who would be eligible to attend a traditional public school operated by the local school board holding the type 4 charter or students from the same areas as those permitted to attend the preexisting school, if a conversion charter, are eligible to attend a type 4 charter school, unless an agreement with another city, parish, or other local school board is reached to allow students to attend the charter school.

C.Type 5 Charter School Transferred Pursuant to R.S. 17:10.5. Students eligible to attend a type 5 charter school transferred to the jurisdiction of the Recovery School District pursuant to R.S. 17:10.5 include those students who would have been eligible to enroll in or attend the pre-existing school under the jurisdiction of the city, parish, or other local public school board or other public school entity prior to its transfer to the recovery school district. In addition, if capacity exists, any students who are eligible to participate in a school choice program established by the prior system shall be permitted to enroll in such type 5 charter schools which have capacity for another student in the appropriate grade.

D.Type 5 Charter School Transferred Pursuant to R.S. 17:10.7. Students eligible to attend a type 5 charter school transferred to the jurisdiction of the recovery school district include any student eligible to attend any school in the system from which the school was transferred. Students eligible to attend such type 5 charter schools may be required to reside in a designated attendance zone, as set forth in a charter school's approved charter.

E.Beginning with the 2011-2012 school year, each elementary and middle charter school, other than a type 2 charter school, may request from and be granted by its chartering authority the authority to give preference in its enrollment procedures to students residing within the neighborhood immediately surrounding the school. The geographic boundaries of the neighborhood immediately surrounding such school shall be determined by the school's chartering authority. The recovery school district may grant or assign preference in its unified enrollment process, described in §2709 of this Bulletin, to students residing within geographic boundaries immediately surrounding each school, as determined by the recovery school district. Type 5 charter schools shall not reserve more than 50 percent of spots in each grade level served for such enrollment preference.

F.Notwithstanding the residency eligibility and verification requirements above, upon approval of the state superintendent, a charter school may enroll a student without such documentation who has been displaced due to a federally declared disaster in Louisiana or surrounding states. As a condition of enrollment, the parent or legal custodian must provide a form signed by the parent or legal custodian of the student that must attest to the following:

a.student’s name;

b.name of parent or legal custodian;
