MAXWELL v. BOARD OF ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION BESE LDOE (2026)

Supreme Court of Louisiana.

Donna MAXWELL, Carmen Robins, Lashanda Chriss, and Shannon McKee v. BOARD OF ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION (BESE) and Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE), Defendants

No. 2026-C-00534

Decided: September 16, 2026

Writ application denied.

The BESE agenda clearly stated, “Consideration of holding a public hearing.” Based on this language, the public could reasonably expect that only the procedural decision of whether to hold a future meeting to discuss the substantive issue was on the agenda, and that there would be a future meeting where they could attend to express their position if the substantive issue was to be voted on.

Hughes, J., would grant. Griffin, J., would grant. Guidry, J., would grant and assigns reasons.
