Mississippi House Speaker Jason White will hold a press conference about the Inspire Act
SUMMARY: Mississippi House Speaker Jason White will discuss House Bill 1453, also known as the Inspire Act of 2024, at a press conference today. The bill aims to change the formula used to calculate state spending on public schools, as the current formula has not been fully funded since 1997. The House passed the bill in a 95 to 13 vote, signaling a move towards creating a more equitable distribution of funds that would benefit poorer schools. The legislation will now move to the Senate for further consideration, where a separate proposal to revise the current formula is also being discussed.
This comes after the Mississippi House voted in favor of setting a new formula to calculate how much money the state will spend on public schools.
