Mississippi School for the Blind in Crisis

Hundreds of parents and former students are demanding urgent reforms at the Mississippi School for the Blind, citing a critical shortage of certified teachers—especially those trained for deaf-blind students—leading to academic setbacks and frustration. One mom pulled her daughter out after fifth grade due to lack of dyslexia support and inadequate instruction for visual impairments. Advocates recall a stark decline from past standards, with students relying too much on online learning and missing vital Braille instruction. The state says it’s prioritizing the school, exploring solutions like bringing in retired experts to fill gaps and ensure students receive the education they deserve.
