Landry says not all school districts have to give teacher stipends. Local leaders await more info.
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry stated not all school districts must use state funds for $2,000 teacher stipends if they use local taxes to raise teacher pay by the same amount. School district leaders await clarification on exemption criteria, as the state did not allocate additional funds for stipends this year due to revenue shortfalls.
