JACKSON, Miss. – In light of the ongoing conversations within the Mississippi Legislature regarding the adjustment of the MAEP formula and changes to state education funding, Governor Reeves made the following statement:

"Be very cautious of a last minute change in funding formula that seems to have unanimous support amongst Democrats in Senate and liberal activist groups. Very very cautious. Instead of funneling more money to the District offices—where our kids won’t see it—why not another teacher pay raise? Put it in the classroom!"
