Oral arguments set in Mississippi private school funding appeal
SUMMARY: The Mississippi State Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in an appeal that challenges the constitutionality of private schools receiving public funds. The case stems from the Mississippi Legislature providing $10 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act funds to private schools. A nonprofit, Parents for Public Schools, challenged the allocation in court and won, with a judge finding it unconstitutional to provide public money for private schools. The Mississippi Center for Justice Attorney argues that taxpayer money for education should go to public schools, not private schools. The oral arguments have been set for February 6, 2024.

SUMMARY: On Election Day, Americans will vote in various races, from local offices to the presidency. A guide is available for polling place closing times across the states. Although initial results may emerge soon after polls close, final tallies could take longer, particularly in close contests. Some municipalities may vary in their polling hours. For example, in Alabama, polls close at 7:00 p.m. CT, while California’s close at 8:00 p.m. PT. To better understand when results may be reported, voters are encouraged to verify their polling location’s hours in advance.

SUMMARY: The Lowndes County Board of Supervisors has secured funding to construct storm shelters in Crawford, Artesia, and Plum Grove, areas lacking local shelter during severe weather. Each community will receive four FEMA-funded shelters, accommodating up to 20 people each, on government property at a total cost of $103,692, with FEMA contributing $93,000. The supervisors anticipate these shelters will significantly enhance safety for residents during storms. Vice President Jeff Smith highlighted their importance, expressing relief for community members who have long awaited a secure refuge. While installation timelines remain unclear, the project is expected to proceed soon.
