After you enter your spouse's 1099R for the teacher's retirement distribution in the federal interview in the "Income" tab using the "Retirement" topic you arrive at a follow question asking about the source of the retirement income. You would select the "Teacher's retirement system" item. This will exclude the income from LA state taxation.
Your income is not excluded based on her service. However if you have retirement income that could be excluded, you would also arrive at the same page following form 1099R entry in the federal interview and select the proper category for the exclusion from LA state taxes.
Here is a link to the LA tax page on retirement income exclusions.
