Funding

How Mississippi funds schools

The MSFF sets a base student cost — $6,695.34 per pupil — and adds weighted funding for low-income, special-education, English-learner, gifted and sparse-district students, with the state and local property taxes together meeting the formula total.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Lincoln County School District are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.
