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SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers are considering replacing the outdated Mississippi Adequate Education Program (MAEP) with a new funding formula, the Mississippi Student Funding Formula.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.
