School board adopts policy revisions under Louisiana ACT 479, including cameras in special education classrooms
Summary
Cameron Parish School Board voted Dec. 1 to adopt revisions to district policies in accordance with ACT 479 (Louisiana Legislative Session 2025), listing policy codes including GAAA, JAA, IDDF, IDDFC (Cameras In Special Education Classrooms), JD and JDA; the transcript includes policy identifiers but not the specific revised language.
On Dec. 1, 2025, the Cameron Parish School Board approved revisions to several district policies in accordance with Louisiana ACT 479, described in the meeting as the 'Legislative Session 2025 Update Part II.' The motion to approve the policy revisions was made by Marsha Trahan and seconded by R. Mitchell Kelley.
The policies identified for revision were listed by code in the meeting minutes: GAAA (Equal Opportunity Employer), JAA (Equal Education Opportunity), IDDF (Education of Students with Exceptionalities), IDDFC (Cameras In Special Education Classrooms), JD (Discipline) and JDA (Corporal Punishment). The transcript records the policy codes and their titles but does not include the specific amendment language or implementation details.
Board discussion in the excerpt is limited to recording the motion and approval; the superintendent presented the item. The minutes do not record a roll-call tally, operational details such as procurement of camera systems, consent procedures, data retention or staff training, nor a timeline for implementation.
The board’s action implements required policy updates identified as part of the 2025 legislative changes; district staff will need to publish the revised policy text and identify operational steps for compliance.
