Speaker Jason White says House will work to scrap, rewrite public education funding formula by Bobby Harrison, Mississippi Today February 20, 2024 First-year House Speaker Jason White said his intention this year is to “scrap” and “rewrite” the formula that funds Mississippi’s public schools.
Could this be the year political games end and MAEP is funded and fixed? White has long said MAEP is too complicated. But the concept behind MAEP is simple: Through an objective formula, a base student cost for schools is developed. The state provides school districts with a certain percentage of that base student cost for each student enrolled. The state provides more of the base student cost for poorer districts and less for more affluent districts.
