[Fed Up with 50th @FedUpwith50th]

We agree with Rod Guajardo, Editor of the Tupelo Daily Journal who writes, "State leaders need to look in the mirror first." They failed to get public support because they didn't involve parents, educators, and the public in developing the plan. https://t.co/be0SWv1ITA

[MS For Public Ed @MSforEd]

Yes, #msleg hear us! https://t.co/2qKHrQ75t3

[MsMomof2 @vealley]

Hey #msleg do you hear us yet? #teampublicschools #4for4

[MS For Public Ed @MSforEd]

@MarshallRamsey Oh we agree! But the narrative we hear from leaders is that the powerful teacher/admin lobby gets what they want. We just want the avg citizen to know their calls matter!

Must be Friday, because I’m #BlueforMSTeachers and still #FedUpWith50th !

[The Parents' Campaign @ParentsCampaign]

CELEBRATING public ed today - Mississippians want the very best for our public schools; our students and teachers deserve nothing less! #BlueforMSTeachers #msleg #msedu #msedchat

[David Blount @SenDavidBlount]

Strong bipartisan vote in Senate to protect MAEP. Thanks to everyone who spoke up for public schools.

[Kelly Riley @KellyMSMom]

Some days just reaffirm your faith in democracy and for good to prevail over injustice.

Just 3 years ago, Mississippi ranked #1 in America’s Community & Junior College Systems – but has since slipped way out of the top 10 due to budget cuts. Help reclaim the #1 ranking here: https://t.co/Ii7PA1A1N9 #MACJC #fillthegapMS

[MS For Public Ed @MSforEd]

Love you @MarshallRamsey but the citizens were involved too! https://t.co/jJZj0PKEHb

Here's how @MarshallRamsey sees the backstory on the failed attempt to rewrite MS education funding.

[MS For Public Ed @MSforEd]

Surprised? No https://t.co/4dw18pY6LT

[Shannon Eubanks 🥥🌴🇺🇸🦅 @Shannon_Eubanks]

In an interview on @MPBOnline this morning, a petulant Lt. Gov. Reeves stated that, as a result of the vote against UPS, schools should expect LESS money than this year. No reason for this, other than Reeves wants to punish those who disagree with him.

[Geoffrey Pender @GeoffPender]

It's sounding like it's dead, dead, dead. Although .... with a 2/3 vote you can do anything https://t.co/o6MMBmZhJK

[Mississippi Today @MSTODAYnews]

In a surprise 27-21 vote today, the Senate turned back efforts to rewrite the state’s public education funding formula. #msedu #msleg https://t.co/dNOp37bfFu

[Ours to Change Mississippi @OurstoChangeMS]

Many many people pulled their resources together and made their voices heard in opposition of this bill! Thank you for everyone's commitment and hard work!! #msleg #msedu https://t.co/HCvLv7neFw

[Shannon Eubanks 🥥🌴🇺🇸🦅 @Shannon_Eubanks]

Now that MAEP is still the funding formula...will the #msleg increase funding by at least the $108 million extra they found for UPS?

[MS Democratic Trust @MSDemTrust]

Special thanks to Senator Hob Bryan for his successful motion to recommit the GOP education plan. This confusing piece of legislation would have meant less money for our already hurting schools. #msleg

[The Parents' Campaign @ParentsCampaign]

HB957 recommitted to committee, effectively killing the bill. THANK YOU to the senators, parents, teachers, and others who stood up for public schools! It's a great day for MS children! #msleg #msedu

[travelingthrough @QueenMotherMS]

A new school funding plan that gives MS students even LESS than an UNDERfunded MAEP? NO way! HB 957 is a bad deal... https://t.co/r9m1NpzuGz

[The Parents' Campaign @ParentsCampaign]

Teachers lit up social media this weekend to oppose HB957! The kicker for educators: Even an underfunded MAEP is better than #msleg's $ plan in HB957. Teacher layoffs, incr class size, more mandates w/ less funding...educators see ominous future for public ed. #msedu #msedchat
