SUMMARY: The Jackson Public School District (JPS) has launched a Request for Proposal (RFP) process and a new Repurposing Initiative Webpage to promote the reuse and redevelopment of surplus school sites in Jackson. This initiative aims to revitalize the properties and transform them into assets for the community. Several schools are set to close in the 2024-2025 school year, with plans for consolidation at a later date. JPS officials have received a lot of interest in the surplus properties and encourage competitive proposals through the RFP process and webpage for review by the Board of Trustees.

SUMMARY: Chief Meteorologist Isaac Williams and Dr. Barrett Gutter embarked on the annual field course “Severe Storms Methods” through Mississippi State University, traveling from Mississippi to Louisiana. The area they visited was at an enhanced risk for severe storms, with potential for damaging wind and hail. They observed evolving storms and various types of cloud formations, including a rotating wall cloud and a well-defined shelf cloud. The storms eventually produced two tornadoes in Sulphur and Westlake, Louisiana. This field course provided valuable real-world experience in observing and tracking severe weather events.
