Coffeeville Public School District
Coffeeville Public School District’s state funding for the 2024-2025 school year is $2,788,218 under the new, fully funded Mississippi Student Funding Formula (MSFF).
Statewide, funding for public schools increased by $239-million, but some districts, like Coffeeville, received relatively flat funding due to declining enrollment (a hold harmless provision in the new Mississippi Student Funding Formula means these districts will be shielded from funding losses for three years).
Prior to this year, Coffeeville schools had endured 16 consecutive years of underfunding in the previous funding formula, the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, resulting in a cumulative loss to the district of $4,208,622.
