- Gov. Landry asks lawmakers to pull $168M from school districts for teacher pay
Gov. Jeff Landry issued an executive order requesting lawmakers to allocate $168 million from K-12 public schools to fund teacher and support staff stipends for the 2026-2027 school year. The plan requires two-thirds legislative approval and aims to prevent pay cuts after a budget shortfall and rejection of a constitutional amendment for salary increases.
