Mississippi teachers are grappling with delays in a new classroom supply program, ClassWallet, which replaced a flawed credit card system plagued by no spending limits and messy receipt tracking. Some educators now face waits of up to ten days for approvals, forcing them to pay out of pocket—hoping for reimbursement later. The state education department says the overhaul was needed to fix those issues and now has five dedicated staff, even working weekends, to clear backlogged requests and aim for same-day approvals. Reimbursements for local vendors not yet in the system take three to five days. The new system also gives officials better insight into teacher needs, leading to updated approved item lists—including lamps and nesting stools for specific classroom setups. With 32,000 eligible teachers, the department is racing to smooth out kinks and ensure classrooms stay stocked. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
