BATON ROUGE mdash; Gov. Landry's plan to provide a one-time pay stipend to teachers by taking money from the state's Minimum Foundation Program passed a vote in both houses of the Louisiana Legislature on Wednesday, despite ongoing legal action against it.nbsp;As previously reported by WBRZ, the pr oposal would take $168 million from the MFP, and the money would be used to fund a $2,000 stipend for 51,000 public school teachers and $1,000 for the 40,000 support staff across Louisiana.nbsp;After the pay raises failed in a statewide vote, Landry announced the creation of a government task force with the goal of streamlining the state's education spending and freeing up funding for a teacher pay raise.nbsp;A week later, the governor issued an executive order directing state education agencies to work to reallocate non-instructional funding into teacher pay raises, an order he said goes hand-in-hand with the creation of the task force.nbsp;However, despite the lawmakers' approval, the raises and reallocation of funding remain in limbo.On June 18, 19th JDC Judge Richard "Chip" Moore issued a temporary restraining order against the state in a lawsuit that alleges Landry's executive order was unconstitutional.nbsp; nbsp;A hearing for that lawsuit is set for June 29.nbsp;See the results of Wednesday's vote below.House:Senate:Permalink| Comments ...read more read less
