Jackson, MS

Yesterday I was updating a client of mine from Mississippi (who saw my ActiveRain blog on Mississippi Credit Repair and subsequently hired me)! First thing we did was to obtain a copy of her credit profile. This woman had 39 derogatory items on the three credit bureaus. I took her on as a client. Today, 120 days later, she is down to 11 items with Trans Union, 13 with Experian, and 11 with Equifax. We are not even done with her yet! We are continuing to work on correcting her credit. I should mention that we also helped her to establish 3 new pieces of revolving credit!

Thanks to the powers of the internet and specifically the powers of the ActiveRain Blog, this woman is on her way to rebuilding her financial future!

Now here's an interesting piece of information we thought would be good to include in our weekly blog. There is a superintendent search for Jackson, Mississippi going on through October 2, 2009.

We recently came across the news that the Mississippi Board of Education is searching nationally for a new superintendent. They are seeking a candidate who will keep all ongoing programs on track and help in the advancement of the student's education.

They say the perfect candidate should be an advocate for increasing student achievement and funding the Mississippi Adequate Education Program.

Application and position information will be posted on the Mississippi School Board and the Mississippi Department of Education's websites by August 24^th. All candidates must submit their application by the October 2^nd deadline to even be considered for the position. Interviews are expected to be conducted between October 23^rd and November 19^th.

Applicants must have a master's degree in any field and a minimum of five years of experience in the education field.

Currently, Dr. John Jordan is serving in the position and will continue to serve until a new superintendent is named.

Whoever the Board of Education chooses, it sounds like the education of Jackson's students is what is most important to everyone. It really shows in what they are requiring of their candidates and we like to hear that education is very important to many in Jackson, Mississippi.

Great news art lovers! For the whole month of July, there will be over 200 outstanding paintings on display from artists across the state at the Art Center of Mississippi in downtown Jackson. It is what we locals have come to know as the annual Mississippi Artists' Guild fine arts exhibition.

Art work will be judged by Gary Walters, an award-winning artist and Jackson native, and much of the artwork will be for sale. Artists in the show range from beginners to longtime painters. Some of the showcased painters are even well known artists. However, they will all be at the art show for the same purpose: to inspire us all by art.

This will be a free event: both exhibit and parking. The show will be open every day from 10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at 201 E. Pascagoula St. in the Art Center of Mississippi, which was formerly the Mississippi Museum of Art before the new building was finished half a block away.

The Art Center of Mississippi or Mississippi Art Center, as some call it, mostly serves as administrative offices for the opera, symphony and ballet. However, they do host special events, such as this art exhibit and other exhibits along with rehearsals and shows by independent performers on a rental basis. So, you can still catch some really great events throughout the year and many of them are free.

This is one event you are sure to find some good deals on really fine art for your home.

Jackson, Mississippi has been waiting for more universities to come to the area and now any adult wanting to further their education will soon have two more universities to choose from.

Recently, a Strayer University campus and a Tulane University satellite campus have been approved by the Mississippi Commission on College Accreditation to come to the areas of Jackson and Madison. The Strayer University campus will be located in Jackson while the Tulane University campus will be located in Madison. Both universities are approved for 2010.

Each university will cater to adult learners constructing their classes primarily around evenings and weekends.

The commission will now have to determine whether or not Strayer and Tulane are likely to have an adverse affect on the current market. This adverse effect stems from their focus on non-traditional students.

So far, the commission has given the universities one year of provisional authorization. They will then re-evaluate all their programs and decide whether they will grant them full state approval or not.

Metro Jackson, Mississippi currently has several schools of higher education, including Jackson State University, University of Mississippi School of Medicine, Mississippi College, Mississippi College School of Law, Health Sciences and Dental School, Millsaps College and Belhaven College.

And for students who are not quite old enough for the universities yet, there is the Jackson public school system which is operated by the Jackson Public School District and the Hinds County School District. These two districts combined operate nine high schools, 11 middle schools and 40 elementary schools. There is also a school for the blind, a school for the deaf, a Capital City Alternative School, a Career Academic Placement Program and a Youth Court School.

When in need of an alternative to public schooling, there is a great private school system with over 35 private programs for those thinking outside the box.

Jackson, Mississippi can be a wonderful place to further your education from beginning to end.
