Hattiesburg schools work to keep students in class
SUMMARY: Hattiesburg Public School officials in Mississippi are focusing on the importance of students attending school regularly. They understand that missing too many days can negatively impact a student's academic performance and future opportunities, such as going to college or joining the military. Chronic absenteeism, defined as missing 18 or more days of school, is a concern that hinders a student's progress. Teachers struggle to catch up students who are behind due to absences, and parents are notified when their child misses class. The school district allows accommodations for certain circumstances, but encourages parents to communicate with the school board for extended absences.

SUMMARY: The superintendent of JPS, Dr. Errick Greene, has proposed an optimization plan due to the decline in enrollment and to make the district more competitive. Enrollment has been declining by an average of 4% each year, with a steeper decline in elementary grades. Smaller schools with fewer students are more costly to operate than larger schools. Dr. Greene and his team have recommended closing several schools by 2024 and making changes to feeder patterns. However, these plans are not official yet and it is uncertain what will happen.
Schools recommended for closure
