RE:
Advisory opinion request regarding whether Georgiette Moore may be re-employed as a bus driver with Madison Parish School District while her biological son works as the Transportation Supervisor.
Facts:
Georgiette Moore retired from the Madison Parish School District in 2008 after being employed as a bus driver for 26 years. Ms. Moore's biological son, Dave Wilson III, has worked as the Transportation Supervisor for the Madison Parish School District since December, 2011. Ms. Moore put Dave Wilson III up for adoption, and he was adopted by another family at birth. Ms. Moore recently applied with the Madison Parish School Board to work as a substitute bus driver, but was denied employment because of her relationship to Dave Wilson III.
Law:
La. R.S. 42:1119A prohibits the immediate family member of an agency head from being employed in that agency.

La. C.C. article 199 states that upon adoption, the adopting parent becomes the parent of the child for all purposes and the filiation between the child and his legal parent is terminated, except as otherwise provided by law. The adopted child and his descendants retain the right to inherit from his former legal parents and the relatives of that parent.


Recommendations:
Adopt the proposed advisory opinion.
Assigned Attorney: Jennifer Land
