Bill to make switching between schools easier dies in committee
SUMMARY: A bill that would have made it easier for students to transfer between public school districts died in committee this week. The proposal would have removed veto power from districts a student wanted to leave. Gulfport Schools Superintendent Glenn East discussed concerns over school choice, questioning how funding would work for students moving between districts and the accountability of charter and private schools. He also addressed challenges surrounding extracurricular participation for homeschooled students and federal education funding, emphasizing the need for careful management of resources. While school choice efforts may face setbacks, the debate will likely continue in future legislative sessions.
This week, several education bills died in committee, one being a bill that would allow students to more easily move between schools.

FIRST ALERT: Pleasant mornings, hot afternoons expected (09/03/2025)
SUMMARY: South Mississippi will experience pleasant mornings with temperatures in the 60s and 70s, followed by hot afternoons reaching the 90s. Tonight is quiet and comfortable, with light south winds and no significant weather activity. A dip in the jet stream brings cooler, drier air and wind shear, limiting tropical activity in the Gulf. Rain chances are low, with only stray showers possible. Water conditions are calm with northwest to southeast winds at 5-10 knots and seas 1-2 feet. The Atlantic has a high chance of tropical development, but it is expected to stay away from the Gulf, posing more concern for the East Coast.
Chief Meteorlogist Eric Jeansonne explains why relief from the summer heat may come during the earlier hours of the day.
