Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 17, § 4. Transfer of obligations, etc. of state board of education

B. (1) The obligations incurred by the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education prior to July 1, 1999 in connection with any contract or agreement with respect to postsecondary vocational-technical schools shall be preserved and discharged by the Board of Supervisors of Community and Technical Colleges. The Board of Supervisors of Community and Technical Colleges shall act as successor to the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education in all respects insofar as obligations of the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education exist regarding postsecondary vocational-technical schools. All of such obligations and all books, papers, records, money, and other property owned, possessed, controlled, or used by the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education in the exercise of its functions relating to postsecondary vocational-technical schools are hereby transferred to the Board of Supervisors of Community and Technical Colleges. All employees heretofore engaged in the performance of the postsecondary vocational-technical school functions of the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education and the state Department of Education shall, insofar as practicable, continue as employees of the Board of Supervisors of Community and Technical Colleges and shall retain all rights, privileges, and benefits enjoyed by each under the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education or the state Department of Education.

(2) Further, any reference in this Chapter to the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, the state Department of Education, or the state superintendent of education insofar as such reference is related to the exercise of jurisdiction over postsecondary vocational-technical schools or the employees thereof shall mean and be interpreted to mean the Board of Supervisors of Community and Technical Colleges, except as is clearly inconsistent with the supervisory jurisdiction of institutions provided by the education governance and management structure established in Article VIII of the Constitution of Louisiana.
