SUMMARY: Mississippi is struggling to fill teaching positions, with 5,012 vacancies reported in education roles, marking a slight increase from the previous school year. The Mississippi Department of Education, after surveying between August and November 2023, found an uptick in teacher and administrator shortages but a decrease in support staff vacancies. Regional disparities exist, with more vacancies filled in the northeast and southeast but growing gaps in the northwest and central areas. The state has proposed strategies including forming an advisory group, promoting new education pathways, requesting legislative support, and launching professional development portals and workshops to tackle the issue. Teacher retention efforts continue with programs like the Mississippi Teacher Residency and the Elevate Teachers Conference.

SUMMARY: In a pivotal matchup, South Alabama defeated Southern Miss 35-14, marking the Golden Eagles’ ninth consecutive loss. While Southern Miss started strong, scoring first with a touchdown pass, South Alabama quickly took control with two touchdown passes from freshman quarterback Gio Lopez. Southern Miss managed only three points in the second half, unable to capitalize on early opportunities, and suffered from multiple turnovers and sacks.

SUMMARY: No. 9 Ole Miss’s national championship hopes were dashed after a 24-17 loss to Florida, a must-win game for the Rebels. Despite outgaining the Gators, Ole Miss failed to score in the red zone, resulting in two turnovers on downs and a missed field goal. Jaxson Dart had a strong start with two touchdown passes but threw two late interceptions. Ole Miss struggled on the ground without its leading rusher, while Florida capitalized with a balanced attack. The Rebels, now 8-3, must regroup for the Egg Bowl against Mississippi State. This loss likely drops them from playoff contention.
