Like in many recent years, a legislative fight over the MAEP funding formula is looming. The fight's origins go back to 1997.
Could this be the year political games end and MAEP is funded and fixed? by Bobby Harrison, Mississippi Today February 18, 2024 The Mississippi Adequate Education Program, which provides the basics for operating local school districts, was nearly gutted in 1997 just as it was beginning its long legislative journey.
The concept behind MAEP is simple: Through an objective formula, based on the cost needed to operate adequately performing and fiscally conservative schools, a base student cost is developed. The state provides school districts with a certain percentage of that base student cost for each student. The state provides more of the base student cost for poorer districts and less for more affluent districts.
