Louisiana Gov. Landry Proposes $150 Million Reallocation to Protect Teacher Pay
Gov. Jeff Landry proposes diverting about $150 million from the K-12 funding formula’s non-instructional programs to cover a planned $2,000 teacher stipend, a plan that would require an executive order after the session and two-thirds legislative approval by mail and could affect administrator funding and other state employee raises if teachers’ pay is protected.
