Schools must post Safe Haven information

Louisiana public schools serving any students in grades 7–12, including charter schools, must display Safe Haven Law flyers. School employees must post them inside each bathroom stall door in every bathroom in the school building. Bathrooms used during the normal school day by students in grade 6 or below are exempt. In those cases, schools may use other ways to inform students in grade 7 or above. Each flyer must have an age-appropriate heading, explain legal ways to surrender a child, and include the Safe Haven logo. It must also include help contacts, a state webpage address, and a QR code linking to that page. The Department of Children and Family Services must design the flyer and make it available to download on its website. The Department of Education must tell public school governing authorities how to get it.
