Caddo Parish Public Schools has proposed a 6 percent across-the-board pay raise for all district employees as part of its 2026-2027 budget plan.

Superintendent Keith Burton presented the proposed budget to the Caddo Parish School Board during a meeting Tuesday afternoon. If approved, the salary increase would take effect July 1 and provide a permanent pay raise for employees across all positions within the district.

School officials said the proposal is the result of several months of planning and budget development aimed at creating a compensation increase that is both meaningful for employees and financially sustainable for the district.

The proposed raise would benefit teachers, support staff, transportation employees, cafeteria workers, administrators and other district personnel.

District leaders said the recommendation reflects an ongoing commitment to investing in the employees who contribute to student success through instruction, support services and daily operations.

The Caddo Parish School Board will consider the proposed pay increase as part of its review and adoption of the 2026-2027 budget.
