COLUMBUS and JACKSON, Miss. (WCBI) – Republicans are still basking in their sweep in the November 3rd State Election. District 37 Representative Gary Chism says they are excited about the Initiative 42 results.
He says now Republicans will work on changing the MAEP formula to include money the legislature is already putting towards education but doesn’t fit in the formula.
” First thing we’re gonna do is find a way to include textbooks, masters teachers pay raises, reading instructors, and all of the other classroom supplies, and included into that formula.”

Last year the legislature was 200 million dollars short from fully funding education.
