AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Mississippi Education Gains: Mississippi is celebrating its biggest-ever reading and math improvement since 2013, with the state now ranking No. 1 in 4th grade Reading and Math gains—local educators say it’s the result of coordinated work among schools, families, and support staff. Amazon Tax Fight: Madison County denied Amazon’s appeal to lower the assessed value of Canton data centers, preserving an estimated $5.8 million in tax revenue for the county budget. Heat and Safety: A heat advisory is in effect as temperatures push into the upper 90s and low 100s, with heat index values near 110 and storm chances returning—drivers are also being warned about tire wear and hot-car risks. Wildfire Watch: With drought and high temperatures, Mississippi counties are issuing burn bans and officials are urging residents to stay wildfire-aware. Public Health: CDC data shows kindergarten vaccine coverage slipping again, with measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) at 92.4% and exemptions rising to a new national high of 4.2%. Local Crime Update: A man wanted since May was arrested and returned to Monroe County to face charges tied to a May shooting. Sports Spotlight: Mississippi State soccer continues its early-season learning curve as the Bulldogs host Arkansas State, while Ryan Coleman-Williams earned preseason Biletnikoff Watch List recognition.
