Report: Mississippi sets state record at 30th nationally in education
SUMMARY: Mississippi has reached its highest education ranking, placed 30th in the 2024 Annie E. Casey Foundation’s KIDS COUNT Data Book, marking significant progress from 48th in 2014. The report evaluates 16 indicators across economic well-being, education, health, and family factors, highlighting Mississippi’s improvement in education, which remains a bright spot despite an overall child well-being rank of 49th. Enhanced pre-K enrollment and reduced high school non-graduation rates contributed to this achievement. Governor Tate Reeves and the Children’s Foundation of Mississippi recognize the state’s strides and aim for continued progress, fueled by increased educational investment and new public school funding.

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.
