Tunica school district returns to local control Monday, after nearly a decade by Violet Jira, Mississippi Today June 27, 2024 After almost a decade under state conservatorship, Tunica County School District will return to local control on July 1. The takeover of the schools, which were placed under state control in July 2015, has been the longest district takeover in state history. Margie Pulley has been at the helm throughout the district’s transformation.
” The district has also made a number of capital improvements to school facilities and purchased new school buses for every bus route. The State Board of Education voted in its June 20 meeting to initiate the return to local control, which it has been preparing the district for since late 2022, when it appointed an advisory board that will serve as voting members of the district’s school board beginning on July 1.
