Senate shelves House education funding rewrite. DeBar vows to work on it in off season by Bobby Harrison, Mississippi Today April 9, 2024 The Senate on Tuesday voted down House legislation to rewrite and remove the objective formula used to determine the amount of money local school districts should receive for their basic operations.
