funding priorities for p-12 and/or higher education

There are five major budget areas for public education in Mississippi: General Education, Chickasaw Interest, Vocational Education (CTE), Mississippi Schools for the Blind and Deaf, Mississippi Adequate Education Program (MAEP). Mississippi uses a funding formula that incorporates both a student and a resource focused approach to funding education in the state. First, Mississippi focuses on determining the base amount of an education for each student in the system. This is the cost of delivering education to students with no special needs or services is used to determine the cost of the resources necessary to deliver an education to students is determined by calculating the cost of the resources and services necessary to do so while accounting for staff salaries and maintenance costs. Their formula must then calculate the additional costs associated with the education of other subgroups and categories of students by accounting for resource-based allocations that fund specific programs and initiatives while applying the multipliers to the base amount in order to generate supplemental funding for those students.

Property taxes are the sole source of local revenue for school districts in Mississippi. Individual school districts in Mississippi are expected to contribute to the revenue stream that funds public schools based on property values. Each district is expected to contribute $28.00 of $1,000 dollars of assessed property wealth. Property taxes are assessed using different ratios for various property types according to its use and classification which is directly related to the funding of Mississippi's schools. Mississippi has a set floor and ceiling on tax rates for local property tax amounts. School districts are required to impose the minimum of 28 per thousand dollars of property and may not collect more than $55.00 per thousand dollars of assessed property value from each property owner.¹

changes to funding formula for p-12 and/or higher Education

There were no changes to the MAEP formula for the 2020-2021 school year.

pressing state issues affecting p-12 and/or higher education funding

The state passed SB2594; which amended the ESA Voucher Program. It now requires students have had an active IEP within the past 3 years, removes online schools from eligibility, requires eligible nonpublic schools to certify that they will provide services [End Page 305] for a participating student's IEP, allows eligible schools to use public schools to provide special education services but requires that public schools be reimbursed, requires that a if a student returns to his/her home school that the funds must also return.

1. The CARES Act provided $1.25 billion in aid for the state to use for funding education and other programs. Covid-19 forced the state to eliminate the proposed $1,000 per year pay raise for teachers. The state education budget was cut by 2.7 percent, a reduction of more than $70 million from the previous year.
2. The budget underfunds the Mississippi Adequate Education Program by $250 million²

exclusive to p-12: what are the alternatives to traditional public school offered by your state? what does the trend in funding look like for these alternatives?

Equal Opportunity for Students with Special Needs Act became law in 2015-it allows parents of students with special needs to use state funds to pay for private school tuition.

Mississippi had 6 charter schools for the 2019-2020 school year, and it approved a new charter school for the 2020-2021 school year.

p -12和/或高等教育的资助重点

密西西比州有五个主要的公共教育预算领域：通识教育，契卡索兴趣，职业教育（CTE），密西西比盲人和聋哑学校，密西西比州充分教育计划（MAEP）。密西西比州采用了一种资助公式，该方案结合了学生和针对资源的方法来为该州的教育提供资金。首先，密西西比州着重于确定系统中每个学生的基本教育水平。这是向没有特殊需要或服务的学生提供教育的成本，用于确定向学生提供教育所需的资源的成本，是通过计算在考虑员工人数时所需的资源和服务的成本来确定的薪水和维护费用。

财产税是密西西比州学区地方收入的唯一来源。预计密西西比州的各个学区将为根据公允价值为公立学校提供资金的收入来源做出贡献。预计每个地区将贡献1000美元的评估财产财富中的28.00美元。财产税是根据其用途和分类对各种财产类型使用不同的比率来评估的，而这与密西西比州学校的资助直接相关。密西西比州对当地财产税额的税率设置了上限和下限。学区被要求征收至少28美元/千美元的财产，并且向每位财产所有者征收的税额不得超过55.00美元/千美元评估的财产价值。^1个

更改p -12和/或高等教育的供资公式

2020-2021学年的MAEP公式没有变化。

影响p -12和/或高等教育经费的紧迫国家问题

国家通过了SB2594；修订了ESA凭证计划。现在，它要求学生在过去3年中拥有有效的IEP，取消在线学校的资格，要求合格的非公立学校证明他们将为参与的学生的IEP提供服务[End Page 305]，允许合格的学校使用公立学校提供特殊教育服务，但要求偿还公立学校的费用，并要求如果学生返回其家乡学校，资金也必须返还。
