What it requires
- If you publish print textbooks or print instructional materials and submit them to the Louisiana Department of Education for review, expect the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education's review process to require you to supply them in an electronic format that meets the National Instructional Materials Accessibility Standard (La. R.S. 17:351.1(B)(3)(e)).
- Supply that electronic format so that it can be converted into specialized formats for children with disabilities and so that braille and large-print textbooks can be produced from it for blind and visually impaired students (La. R.S. 17:351.1(B)(3)(e)).
- If you are the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, provide in the review process for textbooks and instructional materials a requirement that all print textbooks and print instructional materials submitted for review be supplied in an electronic format that meets the National Instructional Materials Accessibility Standard (La. R.S. 17:351.1(B)(3)(e)).
