Charter schools in Mississippi are working: Let’s give more families the opportunity
SUMMARY: As a member of the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools and the Mississippi Charter Schools Association, I’ve observed the challenges faced by Mississippi students and the transformative role of charter schools. With only 10 charter schools currently in operation, the data shows significant improvements in student outcomes, especially in reading, math, and science proficiency. Expanding charter schools can provide more personalized learning opportunities and foster healthy competition within the education system. To better serve families and address educational disparities, I urge the Mississippi Legislature to pass House Bill 1432, enabling charter schools to expand and improve access to quality education statewide.

MCBB: Pedulla’s redemptive three-pointer lifts Ole Miss to 83-80 SEC Tournament win over Arkansas
SUMMARY: Ole Miss advanced in the SEC Tournament with a nail-biting victory over a diminished Arkansas team. The game was tied at 80-80 when Arkansas’s Trevon Brazile missed two crucial free throws. Sean Pedulla, who struggled earlier, made a pivotal three-pointer to secure the win. Malik Dia led Ole Miss with 19 points, while Jaylen Murray added 17. Despite Arkansas’s Jonas Aidoo scoring 17 points before fouling out, Ole Miss edged ahead, capitalizing on better shooting statistics. The Rebels will face No. 1 seed Auburn next, aiming for their first NCAA Tournament appearance in six years.

SUMMARY: The American Red Cross is urging Mississippians to prepare for severe weather this weekend, including damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes. Preparation tips emphasize the importance of seeking shelter during thunderstorms, avoiding outdoor activities, and staying away from electrical equipment. In the event of tornadoes, individuals should understand the difference between a tornado watch and warning, seek shelter in a secure location, and know that mobile homes are unsafe in such situations. It is also crucial to stay informed through local radio or NOAA broadcasts and assist those needing special help. Always avoid flooded roads and report downed power lines.
