Mississippi's special education teachers were promised a much-needed boost in pay, with a $2,000 stipend to help alleviate the state's chronic teacher shortage and address concerns over the quality of education for students with disabilities. However, months after the initial announcement, many teachers are still waiting to see the promised funds. As the state continues to grapple with the challenges of providing adequate support for its most vulnerable students, the delay in distributing the stipend has left educators frustrated and wondering when they can expect the promised relief. With the new school year just around the corner, teachers are growing increasingly anxious about the lack of transparency surrounding the missing funds.
