2024-2025 School Budget
NOMMA Annual Budget 24
Financial Report 2023
In accordance with Federal and State law, schools are mandated as a “fire-arm free zone”. The definition of “school” extends to the physical school campus, school bus and school-sponsored functions. The amendment of Louisiana’s law removing the requirement to hold a concealed carry permit and lowering the age does not change the status of school being a “fire-arm free zone”. Firearms are still prohibited on school grounds as well as specific extensions of the school environment.
