Superintendent: $2,000 state-approved stipend to be paid to full-time employees in September
Summary
The superintendent told the Lafayette Parish School Board that a state-approved stipend of $2,000 (or $1,000 in related cases, per the agenda language) will be paid to full-time, benefits-eligible employees in September; the board recorded the payment timing on the public record.
The Lafayette Parish School Board’s superintendent said the district will pay a state-approved stipend of $2,000 to full-time, benefits-eligible employees in September. The stipend was listed on the consent agenda as a "state approved stipend of 2000/1,000 and related fund 20 budget revisions."
During board comments, a board member asked when the stipends would be paid. The superintendent replied: "In the month of September, and that'll be for all full time employees. Again, we'll be getting $2,000 across the board. Anyone full time that can get benefits, it'll be given in the month of September." The superintendent later confirmed the stipend would be paid to full-time support staff examples cited on the record: cafeteria workers, bus monitors, bus drivers, janitors and other full-time employees eligible for benefits.
The consent agenda item authorizes related budget revisions to Fund 20 (as listed on the agenda). The meeting record does not include an exact pay date in September, the total cost to the district, or whether the stipend will be subject to taxes or other withholdings; those details were not provided on the record.
The stipend and Fund 20 budget revisions were approved as part of the board’s consent agenda and therefore passed together with other non-pulled items in a single voice vote.
