Historic pay raises announced for Jackson Public School teachers and staff
SUMMARY: Jackson Public School (JPS) teachers and hourly staff will receive significant pay raises for the 2024-25 academic year. The JPS Board of Trustees approved increasing the local supplement to the state-mandated minimum teacher salaries and hourly wages, made possible by $18 million from the state’s new funding formula and the district’s Optimization for Equity Plan. Teachers with varying years of service will receive supplements ranging from $5,000 to $5,500. Hourly staff will get raises of at least $2, with skilled labor positions seeing increases up to $7 per hour. This initiative follows the state’s largest-ever teacher pay raise law signed in 2022.

SUMMARY: No. 16 Ole Miss suffered an 87-70 defeat against Memphis, failing to carry late first-half momentum into the second half. Colby Rogers led the Tigers with 28 points, while PJ Haggerty added 17, avenging last year’s tight matchup. Ole Miss struggled early, trailing 27-14, but closed the half to trail by just two. Memphis dominated the second half, particularly after Ole Miss’s Mikeal Brown-Jones was ejected. Despite an improved second-half performance, Ole Miss struggled to score and hit only 36% of shots compared to Memphis’ 48%. Ole Miss will next face Georgia in a challenging matchup.
