Louisiana teachers win Senate push for 4 year raise plan
The House backed a new public school teacher salary schedule granting 400 dollars extra annually for four years though no funding is guaranteed. Final enactment awaits taxes, with a 10 percent raise for other school workers and a postponed start until funds are available. Governor McKeithen may sign if taxes pass. Rep. Lawrence Gibbs notes first year cost at 20 million while Rep. Richard Guidry cautions promises. Other attempts to raise pay for all public officials were defeated.
