Operative words
'SECTION 2: All public schools in the State of Louisiana shall close facilities to students until April 13, 2020. Schools may offer complete distance learning, as capabilities exist.' 'SECTION 1:... [gatherings of 250] people or more between Friday, March 13, 2020 and Monday, April 13, 2020 shall be postponed or cancelled.' Recitals: employees may need 'to care for a child whose school is closed or be forced to quit their jobs'; Section 6 defines 'emergency-related claims' to include 'when an employees' child's school is closed.'
Enforcement
La. R.S. 29:724(E); 29:768
Notes
The Governor's own recital ties school closure to parents' inability to work.
