The State Superintendent of Education is Dr. Raymond Morgigno [3]
In August 2015 smoke from a fire in a nearby hotel, as well as water resulting from the incident, damaged the Central High building, so the MDE temporarily moved its headquarters to the South Pointe Business Park in Clinton. The headquarters were scheduled to move back on July 25, 2016.[1]
The constitution designates the state superintendent the chief administrative officer of the Department of Education.[4]
The Mississippi Board of Education is responsible for setting public education policy, monitoring school funding[4] and appointing the State Superintendent of Education. The nine-member Board is appointed according to the rules in the Mississippi Constitution.[5]
