31 Mississippi education centers recognized as Military Star Schools
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Education has recognized 31 education centers as 2024-2026 Military Star Schools for their substantial support of military families and children of service members. These schools appoint military family liaisons, provide student-led support services, require staff training on military family needs, and publicly acknowledge the military community. The initiative was launched by Governor Tate Reeves in February 2022 and previously awarded the designation to 61 schools for 2023-2025. The program aims to ease educational and social-emotional challenges for military-connected children during transitions. Designations are valid for two years, with the opportunity for renewal or new applications in 2025.

Mississippi lawmakers fail to beat budget deadlines, making special session a possibility
SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers are struggling to finalize a budget for the state government after missing deadlines for funding that begins July 1, 2025. While the Senate convened for negotiations over the weekend, House Speaker Jason White allowed House members to leave, advocating for early budget discussions to ensure transparency and thorough review. Senate leaders criticized this decision, claiming it jeopardizes state services and accusing the House of delaying negotiations, as they sought agreement on around 70 budget-related bills. The failure to agree has led to two funding options: extending the current session or calling a costly special session.
