	"description": "Tell the Senate Finance Committee: Stop the unfunded mandates! The Senate Finance Committee is considering two bills that would impose unfunded mandates on local school boards. SB 82 by Sen. Conrad Appel (R-Metairie) would create an unfunded mandate on local school districts and public charter schools. It would allow two and four year colleges to charge local school districts for remedial coursework that students take at the college level, after high school graduation. SB 209 by Sen. Mike Walsworth (R-West Monroe) would create an unfunded mandate by requiring access to supplementary, post-secondary dual enrollment coursework to all students in grades 7-12 at no cost to the student. It would remove the basic discretionary authority of local district administrators, and would require a diversion of scarce resources to prioritize college dual enrollment coursework rather than K-12 priorities like Career and Technical Education, etc. Send a message to the Senate Finance Committee. Tell members that school districts are already underfunded and cannot afford more unfunded mandates from Baton Rouge!",
