The Mississippi Senate passed amended HB 1395 which includes a $6K teacher pay raise over the next 3 years ($2K/year), an annual salary supplement for SPED teachers, and a $2K pay raise for assistant teachers. The bill now heads back to the House for consideration.
Dear university community,
As the region, the City of Oxford and our university continue to experience the significant impacts of this ice storm, I want to begin by acknowledging the concern and uncertainty many are feeling. Please know that the safety and well-being of our students, faculty, staff and community remain our highest priority. We are grateful for the deep dedication and care of our university teams and statewide and local first responders who are working diligently to respond and recover.
The devastation and disruption to our city, county and campus are tremendous, including power outages, downed trees, hazardous travel conditions and damage to buildings, homes and neighborhoods. Please take every precaution to remain safe as these dangerous conditions persist.
The City of Oxford remains under a Shelter in Place, and the university is closed for Monday, Jan. 26 and Tuesday, Jan. 27. We will notify our campus of future adjustments to operations as we begin to fully determine recovery efforts. Under these challenging conditions, we are prioritizing the support of students, including a warming shelter and dining services. As conditions improve, our focus will be on restoring operations safely, prioritizing essential services and the needs of our students.
We are witnessing the strength and supportive nature of our community in action, especially during the immediate response and as we begin recovery efforts. Please continue to heed advice from local authorities and exercise extreme caution. Stay safe.
Sincerely,
Glenn F. Boyce
Chancellor

You know the great thing, is that change can be so constant you don't even feel the difference until there is one. It can be so slow that you don't even notice that your life is better or worse, until it is. Or it can just blow you away, with something different in an instant.

@mrpiercEy I love your use of vocabulary!!!! Not only are leadership roles in the classroom important, giving a title of purpose and position just adds to the learning! Well done!!!!!✨
It’s awesome to see other school districts offering this as support to families! @LakesideSD has done this for years and it makes such a huge impact! Excited for the Bulldogs!!!
Good News…This school year, the New Albany School District will provide instructional supplies for students in all grades. Students should prepare to bring their own personal items such as backpacks and lunch boxes.
