The mission of the Office of Budget & Planning is to provide high-quality, service-oriented support to the Mississippi Department of Education by ensuring that the agency’s resources are allocated effectively. The office serves the Mississippi Department of Education and its stakeholders by providing technical assistance and timely and accurate information regarding the agency’s fiscal budget.
