North Panola Career and Technical Center team wins national award for anti-bullying initiative
SUMMARY: A Mississippi high school team from North Panola Career and Technical Center won the national title in the DHS's Invent2Prevent contest for their anti-bullying initiative, “Peer No Pressure.” This program offers a supportive space for 12-18-year-olds to combat bullying and peer pressure through peer discussions, skits, and mentorship. The team was among the finalists who presented projects in Washington, D.C., aimed at preventing targeted violence. Over 1,200 students from 119 universities and 138 high schools have joined the contest since its 2021 launch, with some teams sustaining their projects with additional funding.

SUMMARY: Mississippi is replacing the Mississippi Adequate Education Program (MAEP) with a new K-12 funding formula, which is set to increase funding by $218 million. The Mississippi Student Funding Formula will allocate more resources per student, especially benefiting those from low-income families, English learners, and those with special needs. Despite criticism over transportation costs not being accounted for, the bill passed with bipartisan support and is heading to Governor Tate Reeves' desk. Reeves, a supporter of the changes, is expected to sign the bill into law, moving towards a fairer recalculated funding mechanism every four years.
