Every teacher and support personnel in Caddo Parish deserves the $1,000 stipend that the school board is proposing, without any exception. There should be no teacher or support personnel who doesn’t qualify. In fact, all of the teachers should be given $1,500, which is a way to show them that they are respected for what they do every day, and that the citizens of the parish appreciate their commitment. The school district will be receiving millions of dollars from the COVID rescue package, money that was not expected, and should be used to shore up teachers, who are woefully underpaid already.
