Mississippi: Turning Reform into Reality

Excel National’s plan for student-centered education reform across the country includes:

The Mississippi Legislature met from January 6 to April 2, 2015 and Excel National employed the above strategies to advance reform policies and legislation. Mississippi policymakers boldly empowered parents with the passage of Education Scholarship Account (“ESA”) legislation, while holding the line on attempts by defenders of the status quo to peel back the state’s accountability systems. Excel National is grateful for partners like Governor Phil Bryant, Lt. Governor Tate Reeves, Senator Gray Tollison, numerous other legislators, Empower Mississippi, the Mississippi Center for Public Policy, Mississippi First, the American Federation for Children and several parents who all worked tirelessly on behalf of Mississippi’s students.
