Rivendell School District
Lawsuit in Mississippi
A lawsuit has been filed in Mississippi demanding school choice. [enterprise-journal.com, March 19, 2007]. Parents see it as an issue of school choice. Under Mississippi law, there is no school choice. In Mississippi, students may transfer to another district if both districts agree the student may transfer. However, if the district wants to reject the exodus request and keep the student and the funding for that student, the student is denied transfer. Who would want to transfer?
