EDUCATION: LET’S PREPARE TO LEAD THE CONVERSATION

Our work will be in spotlight during 2025 Legislative session

As the 2025 Legislative session approaches, we’re keeping an eye on issues affecting schools, students, teachers, retirees, and the future of public education—and how these issues will play out among Mississippi’s elected leaders.

One big issue is universal school choice, which is gaining ground across the country. Earlier this year, Gov. Reeves signed a “Military School Choice” bill into law, which allows military families to transfer their children to any traditional public school in Mississippi.

Regardless of how district leaders personally feel about the issue, we’ll be responsible for supporting and enacting new policies relating to school choice. That means it’s in our best interest to gain a deeper understanding of the issues surrounding school choice so we can be effective advocates for doing what’s best for Mississippi’s public schools.

That same goes for strategies to address the teacher shortage. A recently passed law known as the Revision Retiree Bill, allows retired Mississippi teachers to be reemployed in critical shortage areas designated by the Mississippi Department of Education.

As January nears, we’ll continue reviewing and discussing school choice and other issues that pertain to public education. After all, we’re the experts—and it’s up to us to be knowledgeable, aware and prepared.
