What began as all cylinders firing on an education policy-focused legislative session has sputtered to a close — with not much new policy to show for it. ow.ly/jOH550YCY4N
Gov. Tate Reeves on Tuesday said he would consider calling a special session on school choice and a teacher pay increase if legislators can’t come to an agreement over the next four weeks. ow.ly/GEyJ50YrZjl
Mississippi teachers might get a pay raise after all. The House revived legislation on Friday morning that would give the state's educators — the lowest paid on average in the nation — at least a $5,000 pay raise. mississippitoday.org/2026/03/06/tea…
A bill that would increase the amount of taxpayers dollars available to Mississippi private schools is, once again, on the table in the House. ow.ly/vnro50Yijlx
The House Education Committee, in a five-minute meeting on Wednesday, passed two Senate education bills before its leader announced that the panel would not meet again this session. ow.ly/o8wV50YhSZw
The House’s expansive education bill is dead — but that doesn’t mean school choice is off the table this session. The likely option available to House leaders is to find an education bill to add school choice provisions to. ow.ly/YQmy50YatwU
The @washingtonpost has laid off hundreds of journalists. Please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser to help them through this challenging period. gofund.me/5a273301a
Meanwhile, the House Ed Committee passed a $5k teacher pay raise, with an extra $3k for special education teachers. mississippitoday.org/2026/02/03/tea…
Big day at the Mississippi Capitol: The Senate Ed Committee killed the House's school choice bill, after 84 seconds of deliberation. mississippitoday.org/2026/02/03/sch…
A bill aimed at improving the lives of Mississippi teachers has made its way out of the House Education Committee. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/29/tea…
Will Mississippi become the next state to ban students from using cellphones in school? ow.ly/US0750Y5byW
The Mississippi House narrowly passed their public-education overhaul Thursday after 4 hours of debate that centered on school choice — but also invoked Trump, rifles and shotguns, the Psalm of David, pimps and meth addicts and even sexual innuendo. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/15/sch…
Mississippi Today captured live video of the House Education Committee debating a school choice bill and archived it for our readers to view for themselves. Unlike the Senate, the House does not deliver live streaming of committee meetings. ow.ly/4qOx50XWY2K
The House Ed Committee has narrowly advanced its chamber’s school choice bill. Two Republicans peeled off from their caucus today to vote 'no,' despite pressure from Speaker White to support his pet issue this session. HB2 heads to the floor tomorrow. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/14/mis…
What questions do you have about school choice? Reporters @devnabose and @mikergoldberg will answer your questions on Friday. Ask them anything on Reddit: ow.ly/AjXJ50XWV4W Don't have a Reddit account? Comment your question below.
Chronic absenteeism is a topic of concern for Mississippi legislators this session. @devnabose and I spoke to school administrators and community members in Simpson County where chronic absenteeism is the third worst in the state to try to figure out why, and what could be done
Why is Simpson County’s chronic absenteeism rate so high? School district officials want to know how to help. ow.ly/kC5G50XTNI5
More notes: • Senate passed a $2k teacher raise • Lt. Gov. Hosemann says the Senate isn't interested in vouchers • Both chambers say school consolidations are coming down the line • House Ed meeting featured pro-school choice parents, and the omnibus bill did not come up
School choice news out of the MS Capitol today: The battle begins in earnest. The House's long-awaited education bill dropped, featuring expansive changes, including a provision that would allow public dollars to pay for private school tuition. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/07/mis…
Emily Wagster Pettus: Mississippi House Speaker Jason White thumbed his nose at open government when he excluded Mississippi Today from his press conference before the beginning of the 2026 legislative session. ow.ly/LRPn50XSSbF
And if you still don't know what "school choice" is, l tried to make sense of it all here: mississippitoday.org/2026/01/06/faq…
