Free meals could end at West Point schools
SUMMARY: The Community Eligibility Provision program allows all students in a school to eat free meals if at least 25% of students are automatically eligible based on government assistance. The economic boom in Clay County has decreased the number of families qualifying for the program in the West Point Consolidated School District, putting it at risk of losing eligibility. This could result in parents needing to pay for school lunches, impacting students who rely on them as their most nutritious meal. The district is working to encourage parents to apply for benefits to maintain eligibility. The final decision on eligibility will be known by early Summer.

SUMMARY: A Panola County mother seeks justice against Dalton Melton, charged with severely beating her three children in 2023. Melton, facing charges of felony child abuse, domestic violence, and aggravated assault, apologized in court, blaming drugs for his actions. His ex-wife Robin hoped for justice at a plea hearing, now delayed until July, concerned that a potential deal could release him early. She pushes for a 20-year sentence, wanting her children to be safe. Robin is frustrated by Melton's accusations of neglect and emotional wounds, serving him divorce papers in court. Melton is in custody at Parchman State Penitentiary.
