LAC 28:CXV.523. Foreign Associate Program

A. The Foreign Associate Program supported through the Minimum Foundation Program requires visas be obtained for all teachers. 1. Foreign associate teachers shall not be employed unless a visa is obtained. 2. The Minimum Foundation Program formula may provide funding to pay for the expense of the visa. B. In order to ensure the proper processing of the visa on behalf of each foreign associate teacher, the Louisiana Department of Education may enter into an agreement with school systems and schools employing the teacher to secure the cost of the visa through a one-time reduction of their Minimum Foundation Program annually and remit the funds to the Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism for processing.
