## Resource

Louisiana’s Department of Education is cracking down on pay equity, mandating that all school districts—public, charter, and lab—distribute $168 million in state funds to boost teacher and support staff salaries for the 2026-27 school year. Teachers must receive at least $2,000 more, support staff $1,000 more, with raises or stipends due by May 1, 2027. Existing pay increases from seniority or education don’t count, but district-wide step adjustments do. Budget cuts must come from non-instructional areas like security or food services. All salary changes require official board minutes to ensure transparency and accountability. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
