Louisiana Teachers Get Up to $50,000 Bonuses from Meta Data Center Tax Revenue

In Louisiana's Richland Parish school district, some teachers received bonuses of up to $50,935 — roughly a year's salary — funded by a surge in sales-tax revenue tied to Meta Platforms' data center construction. Support staff received up to about $17,472, with both figures far exceeding last year's maximums of $10,200 for teachers and roughly $3,323 for staff.
