MDE: Pass rate for Mississippi 3rd graders remains steady
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Education has reported that 85% of 3rd graders passed their reading assessment after final retests for the 2022-2023 school year. This pass rate is similar to previous years, with an initial pass rate of 76.3%, the highest since 2019. The department emphasizes the importance of building literacy skills from pre-K through 3rd grade and will continue to provide professional development opportunities for educators. The Literacy-Based Promotion Act (LBPA) aims to ensure students develop good reading skills and requires 3rd graders to score at a certain level to be promoted to 4th grade. The LBPA also deploys literacy coaches to schools with struggling students and provides professional development in teaching reading.

SUMMARY: Jackson State has been cleared of any wrongdoing by the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) following allegations of film spying. Accusations surfaced that a player from T.C. Taylor’s team informed Arkansas Pine Bluff that Jackson State had been watching their practice film ahead of their matchup, which the Tigers won 41-3. Jackson State denied the claims and cooperated with the SWAC investigation. After reviewing evidence, including interviews and legal consultations, the SWAC found no substantial evidence of unethical conduct. Jackson State (10-2, 8-0 SWAC) will host the SWAC Championship against Southern University on December 7.
