- Education advocates drop lawsuit challenging Gov. Landry’s teacher stipend plan
Education advocates withdrew a lawsuit challenging Governor Jeff Landry’s teacher stipend plan, citing legal difficulties after legislative support. The plan redirects $168 million from public schools’ general funding to teacher and staff stipends, with the lawsuit dismissed following a judge’s decision to dissolve a restraining order and remove the plaintiffs’ law firm due to a conflict of interest.
