No surprise, but beware. Chairman Lamar still lobbying in final days of #msleg for more private school funding via Children's Promise Act. This program is a publicly-funded, strings-free revenue stream for private schools. Ask senators & reps to keeping saying NO!

Among Mississippi's greatest treasures:Ā public school TEACHERS! We are filled with gratitude for the many teachers and assistants moving MS forward one student, one classroom, one school year at a time. What a blessing! #TeacherAppreciationWeek More: msparentscampaign.org/thank-you-to-t…

Private schools double-dipping into public funds? Sounds like it's time for a state audit and a PEER review. #msleg #msedu mississippitoday.org/2025/05/04/sta…

States with universal vouchers admit ā€œchoiceā€ $$$ are claimed by those already in private schools. The price tag for voucher programs soars when wealthy parents get state rebates for tuition. #msleg Check out Education Law Center's tool to estimate costs: edlawcenter.org/research/unive…

Seems this might have been the plan all along? In Alabama’s first year of universal vouchers, 2/3 (66%) of students seeking vouchers ALREADY were enrolled in private or homeschool. Their parents are seeking public assistance for expenses they committed to pay on their own. #msleg

Another revealing voucher story from a neighbor state: ā€œWe were baited & switched. The bait was school choice. The switch - a complicated wealth transfer to parents in the richest parts of the stateā€ whose children already attended private schools. #msleg arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/…
