Teachers Resign After Tax Defeat in Ouachita Parish
Four Ouachita Parish teachers resign after the failed Fifth District sales tax vote. Superintendent Milton C. Hall says more resignations may follow as vacancies total 30 to 40 despite 750 teaching positions. The tax would fund education with distribution by student counts, and Monroe City School Board would need to join. The finance committee will study the proposal, with boards cautious about summer action.
