Most of the nearly 1,000 public schools in Mississippi are operated by one of the state’s 137 school districts. Charter schools account for seven of the state’s public schools, which operate with more autonomy than district schools. Charter schools operate under a contract with an authorizer, which in Mississippi is limited to the Mississippi Charter School Authorizer Board. 

All state-chartered schools in Mississippi serve as their own Local Education Agency (LEA).

“Our work in education is urgent. We will change the current trajectory of our students. All students can learn no matter the circumstance. All students can and will succeed with best practices and systems in place."
