Teachers and school employees have not received a permanent pay raise for the past two years and continue to remain below the Southern Regional Average. In fact, they have received only stipends, and we are being told that even the stipends will NOT be paid next year. Meanwhile, the State Superintendent is getting a $26,000 raise due to the progress made in Louisiana schools.
According to NOLA.com, “During a meeting Friday, the Joint Legislative Budget committee voted unanimously to renew State Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley’s contract and increase his yearly salary to $311,000 — a $26,000 pay raise.”

Who do we need to remind that Superintendent Brumley’s progress was actually made by YOU in the schoolhouses?
Why does he deserve more money, especially permanent monies, and you do not?
Why are you expected to continue to do more work for less money?
We truly do believe in paying people for their hard work, but why should he be the only one benefiting from YOUR HARD WORK?
