It may be the middle of summer for most Coast students, but in Jackson County, school leaders are busy trying to allocate and keep up with federal funding they’ve received over the past year.
Esser one, two, and three funds have been made available to school districts under the Cares Act. The Jackson County School District has applied and used that funding in many ways.
The school district has used much of the Esser one funding and they just got approval for Esser two funds, meaning more staffing, curriculum, and facility improvements are able to be made.

VANCLEAVE, Miss. (AP) Jackson County Schools are holding a vote this month on whether to approve a $67 million bond that would go to improvements at three different schools. WLOX-TV reports that the money would go to East Central, Vancleave, and St. Martin schools on projects including classrooms, fine arts and gymnasiums.
“Right now, our students that are in the arts, do not have proper facilities for what they do in band, choir, drama and so on and so of course, that makes a difference, Jackson County Schools Superintendent Dr. John Strycker told WLOX. “We wouldn’t have the football team playing football in the grass yard, you have a nice stadium with artificial turf, and I don’t begrudge that, I think that’s awesome for art students deserve the same.”
