Ed formula rewrite efforts emerge early in ’18 session with EdBuild set to return
Efforts to rewrite Mississippi’s school funding formula are expected to ramp up next week as legislators meet with an education consultant advising on the effort, sources have told the Clarion Ledger.

The group proposed legislators fund a base amount for each student and allocate supplements for students who need additional resources, such as special education students and students from low-income households.
