Louisiana
House Members will join with
State
Senators and other legislators from around the country in the
fourth annual National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL)
sponsored event. The event was established to encourage state
legislators across the country to visit schools and classrooms
to promote representative democracy. The goal of the program is
to educate young citizens about what it is like to be a state
legislator and what the legislature does, get these young
constituents' thoughts and perspectives, and inspire their
active involvement in the democratic process. It is also
designed to build personal links between schools and legislators
and provide legislators an opportunity to observe what is going
on in schools. |
