Miss. Board Of Education Releases Strategic Plan

The previous goal of raising the state's graduation rate to 83 percent? [...] the aim is that all students will score at a proficient or higher level on every single state test. [...] while Superintendent Carey Wright and others have been trying to round up enough money to incrementally expand Mississippi's recently created state preschool program, now the goal is to provide high quality preschool to every child. On the National Assessment of Educational Progress, a nationwide test taken by a representative sample of Mississippi students, only 15 percent of eighth-grade math students scored proficient or above. In 2011, 52 percent of first-time, full-time college students at Mississippi's community colleges enrolled in at least one remedial course, according to the Community College Board. The state is spending only $3 million a year on its own program and just had its application rejected for $60 million in federal money.
