Public school advocates rally at Capitol

Advocates to lawmakers: Pay for Mississippi schools

Public school advocates are telling Mississippi legislators they won’t tolerate shortfalls in education funding.

At least 300 gathered for a rally Thursday at the Capitol. With the end of the legislative session approaching, a much-discussed rewrite of the education funding formula is nowhere to be seen. Protesters are demanding that the legislature allow more public input.
