The Acadia Parish School Board returned from an executive session held pursuant to LA RS 42:17(A)(1) for a superintendent evaluation and approved a 3% pay increase for the superintendent on July 1.

A board member said, “With the very good evaluation, I feel that she deserves the 3% pay raise for this year.” Mr. Jones made the motion to award a 3% increase; the motion was seconded by Mrs. Atkinson and carried on a voice vote.

Board discussion included a question about whether a roll-call vote was required under the superintendent's contract; the board president said it was not necessary and the motion proceeded by voice vote.

The superintendent addressed the board after the vote and thanked members for their support: “I appreciate your support every day. Thank you very much.” The superintendent also told the board that statewide test scores will be released from embargo on July 3 and that the district will be able to provide summary data after that date.

No additional contractual details or salary figures beyond the 3% increase were stated in the recorded discussion.
