SUMMARY: Former Superintendent Erra Kelly of the South Delta School District was demoted to maintenance supervisor after only 19 months in the position. Kelly claims she had no write-ups or concerns brought to her attention during her tenure. Parents and community members believe the decision was personal and not in the best interest of the students. They criticize the current school board for not having children in the district and not prioritizing education. Calls for new board members who care about the students and the community are increasing. Kelly still works for the district as a maintenance supervisor. School board president John Evans declined to comment on the matter.

SUMMARY: As the legislative session approaches, Mississippi’s House and Senate housing committees convened to discuss affordable housing. The Mississippi Center for Justice highlighted that one-third of homeowners and 53% of renters spend over 30% of their income on housing, identifying a need for 50,000 additional affordable homes. Senator John Horn emphasized challenges in finding starter and workforce housing, particularly for those on limited incomes. He expressed hopes that upcoming legislation in January would address these issues, along with minimum wage concerns, to ensure Mississippians receive a livable wage.
