State Looks to Revoke Canton Charter School's Contract

 The Mississippi Charter School Authorizer Board issued the following statement. 

During its regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, March 16, the Mississippi Charter School Authorizer Board (MCSAB) voted to initiate revocation proceedings for SR1 College Preparatory and STEM Academy (CPSA), located in Canton. This action begins a formal review process outlined in state law and the school’s charter school contract. Revocation proceedings allow the school an opportunity to respond and participate in the process before any final decision is made. MCSAB authorizes the issuance of a notice and will set a hearing date, time, location, and request or appoint a hearing officer. MCSAB has authorized staff to complete the required notices, publications, and other related purposes of these proceedings.

So what are the context, the reasoning for this? Is this another alien scam “learing centre” or it something else?

The required palms weren't greased?

There's a charter school in Canton?

At the same time, behind the scene talks are going on to consolidate Canton's failing separate school district with that of Madison County.

Which principals will survive? Which superintendent? Which teachers, admin staff, transportation coordinators, coaches and nepotism benefactors?

@4:17 Canton"s schools aren't "failing". You need to check the MDE website and look at those test scores. You want to paint the narrative that they're "failing' just because they're "colored".

What does this article have to do with CPSD? Nothing.

CPSA school is failing because they would rather hire their cousin or aunt for admin. Then individuals who have degrees in licenses in this field. Treat anyone who isn't related to them like crap then wonders why they can't keep anyone.

they care more about hiring their cousins and aunts than actually bringing in people who know what they’re doing. No wonder things are falling apart—how are students supposed to succeed when the people running the place aren’t even qualified for their own roles? Like seriously, why is someone in charge of education but has a biology degree like that somehow makes sense? It’s giving favoritism over competence, and it’s obvious.

Per MDE Re Canton Separate:

The Canton Public School District held a "D" rating as recently as the 2018–2019 school year. Historically, the district has faced significant challenges, including a period where the high school specifically held an "F" rating before its recent improvement to a "B".

The district’s ratings over the last decade show a clear upward trend from these lower grades:
D Rating (2018–2019): The district was officially rated a "D" during this cycle.
F Rating History: While the district as a whole has more recently fluctuated between D and C, Canton High School notably climbed from an "F" to its current standing during a multi-year improvement period that saw graduation rates jump from 50% to over 90%.
Pandemic Gap (2019–2021): Accountability ratings were paused statewide due to COVID-19, so no new letter grades were issued during these years.
Recent Success (2022–Present): The district has successfully moved out of the D/F range, maintaining a "C" rating for four consecutive years as of 2025.

I don't know about 'colored'. I just know the definition of the word Travesty. You can dick around with ratings at the will of MDE in order to present a pre-determined outcome. But you cannot whitewash a failed culture and an entirety of parents who don't give a shit in a cesspool of nepotism. But, the goal of the legislature is to establish a melting pot of equity and average.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets.
