Mississippi introduces new attendance policy

Missing a day of school happens. Students get sick, have appointments or sometimes need to be away for personal reasons. This year, however, students across Mississippi will need to pay more attention to how many days they miss a year as a new Mississippi attendance law changes the rules for absences. The new policy limits students to only five excused absences per semester. Only three of those absences can be excused with a parent note. After a student’s third illness-related absence, additional illness-related absences may require medical documentation.

Elsewhere, one of the Mississippi Coast’s biggest stars set a state record while Gulfport eyes the final stretch with a young quarterback leading the way. Not again, West Harrison Anyone who enjoys attending the same tragic play time and time again would enjoy watching West Harrison football. The Hurricanes will be on the outside of the playoffs looking in for the 18th time in the 18-year history of the program after losing to Biloxi, 38-22. The story is becoming far too familiar. This is the fifth year running West Harrison has missed a postseason bid by a single game. And this might have been its best opportunity, since it could technically survive a loss to Biloxi as long as it was by a touchdown or less. Biloxi denied the Hurricanes last season,
