District overview
Copiah County School District
Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.

How the district is funded and governed
The audit describes operating support from property taxes and state and federal revenue. The official Board page links a Simbli archive whose reviewed host terms prohibit automated cataloguing.
Operating fund
FY2025 General Fund revenue was $22,450,768 and expenditures were $21,601,052.
Government-wide funding
Property taxes supplied $5,318,500; combined state and federal general revenue supplied $15,736,683; Sixteenth Section sources supplied $168,647.
Audit result
The audit issued unmodified opinions and reported no financial-statement or federal-award findings or questioned costs.
Current AI rule
The 2026-2027 technology handbook limits academic AI use to district-provided or formally approved tools, with monitoring and privacy safeguards.
Academic calendar
The Board approved the 182-student-day 2026-2027 calendar on March 2, 2026.
The officially linked Simbli meeting archive was excluded because its reviewed host terms prohibit automated cataloguing; no public Board or subcommittee occurrence records are claimed.
