- Louisiana lawmakers now have deadline to choose between teacher pay cut or school funding reduction
Louisiana lawmakers must decide by June 23 whether to shift $168 million from public school operations to teacher pay stipends, avoiding a $2,000 pay cut for teachers but reducing funds for school maintenance and other expenses. The plan requires two-thirds legislative approval, with Republicans holding a majority but needing Democratic support. School district leaders warn the funding cuts could harm students.
