“I and the rest of the Prismatic team are thrilled at the possibility of continuing to work with the district in Phase 2, moving additional schools to healthy start times,” wrote Tatia Prieto, Prismatic’s president, in a March 26 report.

Better terms

In the latest contract proposal, most Prismatic staff would charge East Baton Rouge Parish $15 less per hour than previously.

“We typically increase our hourly rates each year to account for inflation,” Prieto wrote. “To demonstrate our continuing commitment to the success of East Baton Rouge Schools, we are offering a discount on our Phase 2 hourly rates.”
