In a significant move to support the dedicated staff of DeSoto Parish Schools, the DeSoto Parish School Board recently moved to match the state’s one-time supplement approved in June by the Louisiana Legislature. This decision was officially approved at the July 2nd Board meeting and results in a total of $4,000 for teachers and certified employees and $2,000 for all support employees to be paid on or before October 10th.
The state legislature granted $2,000 for teachers and $1,000 for support employees. The Board’s commitment to match this contribution demonstrates its recognition of the hard work and dedication of all school system employees.
“This decision is a reflection of our commitment to investing in the people who make #TheDeSotoDifference every day,” said Superintendent Clay Corley. “Our teachers and support staff are the backbone of our schools, and their tireless efforts deserve recognition and reward. This supplement is a small token of our appreciation for their exceptional work and dedication to our students.”
Board President Dr. Neil Henderson also expressed his gratitude for the unwavering support from the community and the extraordinary efforts of the district’s employees. “Our community’s support enables us to continue enhancing the educational experience for our students and to acknowledge the incredible contributions of our staff. This supplement is just one of the many ways we strive to show our appreciation.”
