Outreach Program MSB's Outreach Program serves as a resource to local education agencies, families of visually impaired children, higher education training programs, service organizations, and interested individuals of the State of Mississippi. Since its inception, MSB has continually provided instructional services to this population of students and continues its effort to develop curricula designed specifically for their needs. This component of the program serves children from both the Mississippi Schools for the Blind and Deaf who are in need of specialized services unique to their dual sensory impairments of blindness and deafness. Extended Day Services Residential Services MSB not only provides for the education of its students, but also provides housing, meals, and basic health care for those students living too far from school to commute each day. Dormitory living is available free of charge for students who live outside the Jackson area.
Every effort is made to assure a pleasant home-like atmosphere.
Students are under the supervision of Residential Education Parents at all times. Nutritionally appropriate meals are provided free of charge to students. Parents are responsible for providing linen, clothing, personal care items, and incidentals for students. Dormitory students have opportunities to participate in and enjoy a variety of activities both on the campus and at other locations in and near Jackson. After school activities have included skating, shopping, playing and attending local sports activities.
