Jackson School District take over

A judge won’t stop a possible state takeover of Mississippi’s second-largest school district.
Hinds County Circuit Judge Bill Gowan on Monday denied a temporary restraining order sought by the Jackson School District against the state board of education.
Gowan says the school district’s request sought to have him infringe on Governor Phil Bryant’s authority.
The governor has said he’ll decide later this month on declaring a state of emergency in the 27,000 student district. The board of education last month asked the Republican governor to do so, citing state rule violations.
