CPSB: School Board Meeting | June 16, 2026 4:00pm

The Caddo Parish Public Schools Board held a meeting on June 16, 2026, primarily focused on approving the proposed 2026-2027 consolidated annual budget and discussing employee compensation. Public comments highlighted concerns about salary disparities, the need for raises especially for lower-paid staff, and calls for a third-party study to address salary step inequities affecting veteran teachers. The board debated a proposed 6% pay raise and a one-time stipend, with caution expressed about potential conflicts with a governor's executive order on minimum foundation program (MFP) funding. The stipend was delayed pending official clarification to avoid financial risk. The board ultimately approved the budget but postponed final decisions on stipends and further salary adjustments. Additionally, the board considered and approved a new policy for the education of incarcerated students with disabilities. Several motions and votes related to budget approval, salary discussions, and policy adoption were conducted during the meeting.
