The Raise Mississippi Initiative will be holding a community-wide meeting on Thursday, Nov. 9, at the Natchez High School Cafeteria located at 323 Sgt. Prentiss Drive.

Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. The event begins at 6 p.m.

This Raise Mississippi Townhall should provide information about funding for our public schools.

The mission of Raise Mississippi is to ensure that 90% of Mississippi children who attend public schools in Mississippi have access to: modern school buildings, nutritious meals, school nurses; libraries and librarians; counselors, special area classes, as well as support staff. We also would like for classes to be equipped with up-to-date technology, books and learning materials.

Mississippi Association of Educators, elected officials, parents, educators and community leaders will be in attendance to listen to your comments and field your questions.
