JPS gets grant to expand security efforts
SUMMARY: Jackson Public Schools has received a federal grant of over $515,000 from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Community Oriented Policing Services program to enhance campus security. Chief Charles McInnis announced that this funding will enable the hiring of approximately four new sworn police officers to serve as School Resource Officers (SROs). The current safety team comprises 109 members, including police officers and safety staff, working closely with the Jackson Police Department. Chief McInnis emphasized that having more officers in schools helps reduce violence and fosters trust, as students often share valuable information with them. The team responds to nearly 37,000 calls annually.

SUMMARY: In November, Lauderdale County residents will receive tax bills reflecting a 20% increase for property taxes, marking the first increase in several years. This increase applies to all property owners, including those in Meridian, despite the city having lowered its property taxes. Due to a new assessment, property values across the county have risen by 20%. However, individuals over 65 years old are exempt from the increase unless there’s a change in the millage rate, following a law enacted two years ago. Tax assessments are required every four years, which necessitated this adjustment.
