Dear EBR Employees,
We are excited to share that the EBR School Board has unanimously approved a one-time, district-funded stipend to match the state-funded stipend! 🎉
This means that all certified educators will receive a $2,000 stipend from EBR, along with an additional $2,000 from the state. Support staff will receive $1,000 from EBR and $1,000 from the state.
Based on your survey feedback, the stipends will be released on October 28 and November 17. 💸
We’re proud to be doing the hard, necessary work to invest in the people who are shaping the future of Baton Rouge — our educators and support staff. These stipends are one more step in our ongoing commitment to better pay and greater support for those doing some of the most important work in the city.
We are also continuously evaluating our financial practices to reimagine how we use our resources, eliminate duplication of services, and ensure every dollar is aligned with our highest priorities. Our long-term goal is to provide our teachers and staff with a permanent raise. Until that time, we will remain committed to finding meaningful ways to adequately and consistently compensate our team.
Thank you for everything you do for our students and families!

Mayor Sid Edwards spoke to Tara High School freshmen on Thursday during the school`s monthly "Things I Didn`t Learn in School" series. "I learned a lot in school, but you`re going to learn this: you`re going to learn so much more outside the walls," Edwards told the students. Tara launched the series this year to invite staff and community leaders to share their personal journeys, reminding students that behind every role is a story worth telling.
