Mississippi Constitution: No Public Funds for Private Schools
EXCERPT
The Mississippi Constitution is clear: taxpayer dollars may not be appropriated for private schools.
The authors of the State Constitution understood that strong public schools are unique in their contribution to the wellbeing of our communities and our state – and that the greatest threat to this vital common good is the siphoning of public funds to subsidize the private education of a few, creating a system of unequal schools that would divide and weaken our state.
