MDE Presentation on Mississippi Succeeds Plan
Description
Mississippi Department of Education Presentation on Mississippi Succeeds Plan, Opens Public Comment Period during Public Meeting
June 29, 2017 at 6 p.m.
The Mississippi State Board of Education voted in favor of the state’s plan to improve outcomes for students in compliance with the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the federal law that replaces No Child Left Behind (NCLB).
Improved transparency, support for underperforming schools and districts, increased accountability for results, and focused professional training for better quality teachers and school leaders are key components of Mississippi Succeeds.
The state plan, informed by citizens from across the state, is a refinement of the activities supporting the Mississippi State Board of Education’s Strategic Plan. It serves as the roadmap to higher student achievement and reinforces many of the state’s existing educational priorities.
The plan provides clear expectations for schools and districts with the focus solidly on student growth opportunities and performance, particularly for students who are the furthest behind their peers.
Public comment will be open for the next 30 days, and the Mississippi State Department of Education has announced public meetings for a presentation about the plan. All stakeholders are invited to attend. Each meeting will begin at 6 p.m. A public meeting will be held in Oxford, Mississippi, at the Oxford Conference Center, 102 Ed Perry Boulevard, on June 29, 2017.
