(The Center Square) – A northeast Louisiana school system that paid out five-figure teacher bonuses this year thanks to a new Meta data center put up a fight when The Center Square asked for records of who received the money. The Richland Parish School Board's defiant stance against the request for employee compensation records violated state law, said Virginia Hamrick, Louisiana staff attorney for the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. Hamrick sent a demand letter, on behalf of the wire service, to the superintendent in September that convinced the district to release the records after a two-month battle.
