Bill Summary

Requires cursive writing be taught in public schools. (7/1/17) (EN SEE FISC NOTE LF EX See Note)

AI Summary

This bill mandates that cursive writing be taught in all public schools in Louisiana, requiring its introduction by the third grade and integration into the curriculum for grades four through twelve. Importantly, this requirement also applies to charter schools, which are typically exempt from many state mandates, meaning they will now also be required to teach cursive writing. This legislation is set to take effect on July 1, 2017.
