Former Democratic Gov. Musgrove wants school districts to sue over MAEP funding

Ronnie Musgrove leading group recruiting school districts to join lawsuit against state

JACKSON, Mississippi –Former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove is leading a group traveling Mississippi in the hopes of convincing school districts to join a lawsuit which, if successful, would force the state to repay some $1.5 billion it has shorted its public schools since 2008….

…A spokesman for Musgrove, who was lieutenant governor when the funding formula was enacted, declined comment Friday. It appears only a handful of districts have signed up so far for the lawsuit.
