DA Comments On Bonuses Of Teachers
Monroe and Ouachita Parish school boards face questions over Act 152 of 1973 which requires using revenue sharing funds for teacher bonuses in lieu of cost of living increases. District Attorney Parkerson says the act may be legal, not criminal, but could be unconstitutional, and future court action may challenge it. He notes he will defend the act unless boards seek to sue, and a separate review on salary cuts by Monroe schools is pending.
