The 2015 Louisiana Federation of Teachers’ Legislative Agenda works toward fulfilling the goal set by the union’s convention last November: Reclaiming the promise of an excellent public education for all children.

The LFT agenda comprises solution-driven initiatives that aim to:

• Address “standards” and the overuse of standardized test scores
• Prioritize spending in our state budget
• Preserve the rights of locally elected school boards
• Protect the health and retirement security of teachers and school employees
• Ensure the professional rights of teachers and school employees
• Address student welfare
