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.
