Nah man. The BR COA got all of that extra money and look how great they are doing.
They being the people in charge, not the elderly they are supposed to help.

What is so ridiculous about ensuring that schools in poor and rural areas receive equal funding, equal building upkeep, and equal supplies?

I lived in Vicksburg and Natchez. You have to pay for a good education in those cities. Vicksburg has a slight edge on better public schools. Natchez is in a complete tailspin.

I think the counter argument is they do have proper cash inflows, backed by the state, but have a management issue. And their perception of "basic needs" doesn't meet their tolerance for increased local taxes.

I live in Adams county where just yesterday we voted down a bond proposal to raise taxes for a new school. Natchez Adams county schools were one of the districts with an F.
Thank God they did, are you naive enough to believe a new building will solve the NASD's problems?
Funny that another tiny school in town with a building that is decades older just placed in the national science finals in Ohio, wonder what the difference is? PARENTS

Compare the amount spent per student in the A schools and the F schools. The F schools get more. How are they not receiving equal?

How do you suggest the government ensure such a thing?

Exactly. The Natchez public schools are almost 3rd world. And so are some of the neighborhoods.

For frick's sake.
I said IF MAEP is underfunded as alleged, that is a problem. I have in no way, shape, or form relieved the city of Jackson, its leaders, Hinds County, or the JPS administration of the blame. In fact, they, along with the poor communities, should shoulder most of the blame. I'm only stating the fact that the schools are in a total state of shite physically and that needs to be changed.

The speed at which the cannibals have turned what were very recently nice middle class neighborhoods into 3rd world ghettos is amazing.

Lots of towns like that.
The money lived on one street and the help lived close by.

The fact that funding sources vary.
By all means, have a rural subsidy to help with facility upkeep.
But actual education should be local. Are you arguing that if the taxpayers vote against educational millages, they have the right to expect that the money will come in from neighboring districts to make up the difference?
Posted on 5/24/17 at 12:43 pm to cave canem
Yep. And not getting any better. Moved from there years ago. Still have a few friends there but they are stuck until their kids graduate and then they will leave too. Cathedral was a great school.

white people that care about their kids education in Mississippi dont send their kids to public schools

As you can see- if you bothered looking at the link provided earlier in the thread- MS spending per pupil by county - you'd see that failing districts are often the ones receiving the most money.
There is no correlation between funding levels and MS failing schools.

You're not going to get the same results as kids who go to public schools like Brandon High, Pearl High, Ocean Springs, Pass Christian. The students there come from better homes where family life, education, and social upward mobility are goals.
It's just not going to happen.
And, honestly, it seems to me that the people of Jackson want what the kids of the private schools have. They think their schools should look like JA, Jackson Prep, St. Andrews, etc.

Funding per student by county
So here is the average per spending by grade. So they are already spending 17% more on the C and D schools than the A and B schools. I'm sure spending even more money on them will improve performance.
A - $8.5k
B - $8.7k
C - 10.1K
D - 10K
