We agree with Rod Guajardo, Editor of the Tupelo Daily Journal who writes, "State leaders need to look in the mirror first." They failed to get public support because they didn't involve parents, educators, and the public in developing the plan. djournal.com/opinion/column…

Strong bipartisan vote in Senate to protect MAEP. Thanks to everyone who spoke up for public schools.

Some days just reaffirm your faith in democracy and for good to prevail over injustice.

Just 3 years ago, Mississippi ranked #1 in America’s Community & Junior College Systems – but has since slipped way out of the top 10 due to budget cuts. Help reclaim the #1 ranking here: fillthegap.ms #MACJC #fillthegapMS

Love you @MarshallRamsey but the citizens were involved too!

Here's how @MarshallRamsey sees the backstory on the failed attempt to rewrite MS education funding.

Surprised? No

In an interview on @MPBOnline this morning, a petulant Lt. Gov. Reeves stated that, as a result of the vote against UPS, schools should expect LESS money than this year. No reason for this, other than Reeves wants to punish those who disagree with him.

It's sounding like it's dead, dead, dead. Although .... with a 2/3 vote you can do anything

Is it dead? Dead dead? Or dead dead dead?

In a surprise 27-21 vote today, the Senate turned back efforts to rewrite the state’s public education funding formula. #msedu #msleg mississippitoday.org/2018/03/01/sur…

Many many people pulled their resources together and made their voices heard in opposition of this bill! Thank you for everyone's commitment and hard work!! #msleg #msedu

HB957 recommitted to committee, effectively killing the bill. THANK YOU to the senators, parents, teachers, and others who stood up for public schools! It's a great day for MS children! #msleg #msedu

Now that MAEP is still the funding formula...will the #msleg increase funding by at least the $108 million extra they found for UPS?

Special thanks to Senator Hob Bryan for his successful motion to recommit the GOP education plan. This confusing piece of legislation would have meant less money for our already hurting schools. #msleg

A new school funding plan that gives MS students even LESS than an UNDERfunded MAEP? NO way! HB 957 is a bad deal... fb.me/NvLVdkCI

Teachers lit up social media this weekend to oppose HB957! The kicker for educators: Even an underfunded MAEP is better than #msleg's $ plan in HB957. Teacher layoffs, incr class size, more mandates w/ less funding...educators see ominous future for public ed. #msedu #msedchat

This is not to say which formula is best, but the math is clear that the Legislature #msleg is on the verge of passing a funding formula that calls for less money for local schools.djournal.com/opinion/bobby-…
