The 2015 session presents some interesting dynamics for legislators in terms of education funding. There is a possibility that as legislators meet in 2015 there could be a court ruling hanging over their head saying that they shall fully fund MAEP. Plus, there is a possibility that the courts will rule that the school districts that joined the Musgrove lawsuit – 21 at current count – will be owed the money they were shortchanged by not fully funding MAEP as the law said the Legislature shall do. In addition, there could be an initiative hanging over their heads that could be on the 2015 election ballot, re-enforcing in the Mississippi Constitution the responsibility of legislators to provide adequate funding for education.
