In 2012, Kleckley worked with House Republicans and Governor Jindal to pass a monumental education reform package that promoted parental choice and the ability for a child to escape a failing school district. The bold reforms also added strict requirements for teacher tenure evaluations. During the same legislative session, under Kleckley's leadership, the House passed Constitutional Amendment #2 to the Louisiana State Constitution. It is a law that labels the right to bear arms as a "fundamental right" and subject to "strict scrutiny." It provides the strongest protection of the right to keep and bear arms of any jurisdiction in the United States.<ref name=kleckley/><ref>{{cite web|title=Yes On 2 Flyer|url=http://nraila.org/media/9914064/yeson2flyer.pdf|publisher=NRA ILA|accessdate=November 27, 2012}}</ref>
