Rapides School Board OKs stipends for all employees after Landry order

After Rapides Parish School Board members voted unanimously Tuesday to give stipends to all its employees, not just the ones singled out in Gov. Jeff Landry 's June executive order, members learned their budget could take another multimillion dollar hit tied to declining enrollment. The order directs districts to distribute stipends of $2,000 and $1,000 for classroom teachers and support staff, respectively, from Minimum Foundation Program (MFP) funds districts receive from the state. Landry's order came after voters twice rejected constitutional amendments that would have used state funds for a teacher pay raise. In Rapides Parish, the governor's order means the district lost $5.3 million in MFP funds that will go to the stipend. Board members were told that the Louisiana Legislative Auditor wants boards to adopt a resolution on the stipends, even though the board already included it in salary schedules adopted in July. The resolution presented to the board Tuesday during a special board meeting included the recommendation from Superintendent Jeff Powell's administration that the stipend be paid to all employees "instead of just limiting to what the governor wants to pay," said Finance Director Liz Domite. Landry's order excludes employees who don't "necessarily have a classroom attached

See which Rapides Parish eateries failed health inspections

The Town Talk obtained food safety inspection information for Sept. 13-26 from the Louisiana Department of Health. The top addresses with the most critical violations are listed, along with an explanation of the findings. All restaurants on the list had at least two critical violations. According to the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, uncorrected critical violations are more likely to contribute to food contamination or illness. Less serious violations are not directly related to foodborne illness but could become hazardous if uncorrected. The Louisiana Department of Health's retail food health inspections dashboard includes a history of each establishment's inspection reports. Inspections should be considered a "snapshot" and might not always reflect an establishment's day-to-day operations and overall condition. Violations fall into two main categories: critical and non-critical. Critical violations are more likely to contribute directly to food contamination or illness if left uncorrected. Non-critical violations are not directly related to the cause of foodborne illness but could become critical if left uncorrected. The DHH dashboard is updated daily; however, there is a seven-day delay between when inspections are made and posted online. Check eatsafe.la.gov for the most recent inspection information available and information on how to file a complaint.
