What do you wish for? Legally speaking, I mean? Does Mississippi or our country have laws it shouldn’t or what does it need? If you could make the laws, what would you wish for?

Past wishes:

HB 530 The "Strategically Accelerating the Recruitment and Retention of Teachers (START) Act of 2022" The average annual teacher raise will be $5,140, and the raise will begin for the 2022-2023 school year. Starting teacher pay will increase from $37,123 to $41,638, putting Mississippi above the southeastern and national averages. http://billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/2022/pdf/history/HB/HB0530.xml
