School extracurricular activities; provide certain scheduling of.

HB 1294 requires Mississippi public school districts to schedule extracurricular activities so students attend all regular academic classes first and return to school by 10:30 p.m. on school nights (including makeup days). It directly affects students, schools, coaches, and bus drivers by mandating safety-focused scheduling to reduce fatigue risks. Exemptions include playoff events, championships, and prearranged overnight trips. School districts must document and report noncompliance quarterly to the State Department of Education, which will share summaries with legislative committees. The law takes effect July 1, 2025.
