Advocates say state leaders must address Mississippi’s 11-month child care crisis but warn the $15 million would only alleviate a fraction of roughly 20,000 households on a waitlist.
The Senate voted Thursday to spend $15 million on child care vouchers to help alleviate the pressure on roughly 20,000 low-income Mississippi families waitlisted for subsidies since pandemic-era federal funds ran out in April.

Clarksdale public schools are cultivating future teachers among their students.
CLARKSDALE — Clarksdale had the second highest teacher shortage in Mississippi last year — 40 posted vacancies in July.
For district administrators, that staffing challenge hits particularly hard each year in late summer when they try to fill vacancies before the new school year begins. The problem affects students, too, when they’re taught by substitute teachers for weeks at a time.
