The House Education Committee will meet at 1:00 p.m. today and could take up several bills expanding school choice, including:
- HB 1433, which provides for public and private school “choice”
- HB 1078, a bill removing provisions passed in the 2024 session that tightened up the ESA voucher statute and allowing an unnamed nonprofit to receive state funds to administer the program
Please ask your representative and Speaker White to OPPOSE HB 1433, HB 1078, and any bill that expands school choice.

Nine out of the top ten states for “school choice” have moved backward on national assessments in reading and math, while Mississippi has the most improvement of any state. School choice is a bad deal for children and a bad deal for taxpayers!
Please make those calls right away. Ask your friends and family to call, too. Together, we’ve got this!
