JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi is on track to change the way it pays for public schools with a new plan that would give districts a boost in funding for students who can be more expensive to educate.
The extra money would be calculated, for example, for students who live in poverty, those with special needs, those in gifted programs, those with dyslexia or those who are learning English as a second language.
The House voted 113-0 Friday to pass the Mississippi Student Funding Formula, which would replace the Mississippi Adequate Education Formula. The Senate is expected to vote on the bill in the next few days.
The Mississippi Student Funding Formula would help poorer districts that have little or no local tax bases, said House Education Committee Chairman Rob Roberson, a Republican from Starkville.
“These are our kids, the kids in this state,” Roberson said. “Every one of them, no matter what zip code they’re in, these are our babies. We can either set them up for success or burden them with failure.”
