SUMMARY: The Jackson Public School (JPS) district in Mississippi has announced that there were testing irregularities affecting seven percent of students who took the 2022-2033 Mississippi Academic Assessment Program. The JPS Superintendent, Dr. Errick Greene, stated that the Mississippi Department of Education notified the district this week about the irregularities in seven JPS schools, without disclosing which ones were impacted. To address the issue, a team of internal and external educators has been formed to investigate everyone involved in the testing program. School leaders at the affected schools have been placed on administrative leave with pay while an investigation is conducted. Dr. Greene emphasized that this is not a district-wide problem and that appropriate action will be taken against those involved. The district has been given 15 days to present their findings.

SUMMARY: The National Association of Letter Carriers hosts the Stamp Out Hunger food drive on the 2nd Saturday of May each year. They ask people to leave a plastic bag of non-perishable items by their mailbox for carriers to collect. Last year, over 2700 pounds of food were collected. The organization hopes to surpass that number this year. Anyone can participate by leaving items by their mailbox on the designated day. If you miss the collection day, you can contact your local post office for further instructions on how to donate. Your support can make a big difference in helping those in need.
