JXN Water works to bring system into regulatory compliance
SUMMARY: Jackson's water system in Mississippi is under the regulatory oversight of the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH). JXN Water, the agency that operates the water system, notifies MSDH of any violations, and then the information is made public. This week, the public will be notified of violations related to the Corrosion Control Treatment for the EPA's Lead & Copper Rule. The water system has been in violation of water quality parameters since 2018 and has failed to install corrosion control treatment since 2020. JXN Water and Jacobs are working to implement improvements to achieve regulatory compliance. Concerns can be addressed by contacting JXN Water Customer Service.

Mississippi Senate agrees to a new school funding formula, sending plan to the governor
SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers are considering replacing the outdated Mississippi Adequate Education Program (MAEP) with a new funding formula, the Mississippi Student Funding Formula. This new plan aims to provide more financial support to school districts, especially for students with additional needs. The bill has passed in both the state Senate and House, with some dissenting votes. Critics argue that the Legislature has consistently underfunded education in the past. The new formula would allocate an additional $217 million for schools compared to the current MAEP budget. Republican Sen. Angela Hill expressed concerns about funding for students learning English as a second language due to immigration issues.
