The Public Education Forum of Mississippi was recently notified by the Mississippi Department of Education that the Mississippi Student Information System (MSIS) has been updated to capture the Mississippi Scholars and Tech Master data starting the 2017-2018 school year. Jean Massey will provide training to districts on how to use this function. Kudos to Jean Massey, Executive Director, Office of Secondary Education.
