2026/07/24

Louisiana’s teacher stipend plan just got a major twist: districts can now use any local pay raise — no matter the size — to offset their state-mandated stipend. This replaces the old rule requiring at least $2,000 raises to qualify for exemption, giving schools more flexibility as they scramble to afford both local raises and state payments. The change comes after many districts canceled or delayed raises due to budget crunches, and follows voters rejecting a permanent raise proposal — making

But don’t relax yet: last year’s record-breaking season proved El Niño doesn’t guarantee calm. Every storm still
