Declining enrollment, increased absences threaten public school funding

A rule under the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, the law used to determine public school funding, provides a complicated formula to determine whether a district has experienced an “inordinately large number of absences.” If it has, the district can receive funds based on the prior year’s average daily attendance figure. Specific figures are unclear, but many districts would stand to lose a substantial amount of money if numbers from this year are used one reason why Wright is asking the Legislature to consider an alternative approach to calculating average daily attendance. “There is a lot of concern, and rightfully so, from state superintendents about the children they’ve lost, but we fully expect those children to return once we get past the vaccination and the issues around the pandemic,” she told members of the Senate Education Committee at a hearing on Wednesday.
