HB 307 creates Mississippi's "Dream Makers Program," an after-school initiative for public school students in grades 7 and 8. The two-year program requires participants to maintain a 2.5 GPA, receive teacher recommendations, and have consistent attendance, with eligibility including parental consent. Key components include specimen dissection, health professional panels, interactions with UMMC medical students, and blood pressure/temperature instruction. The bill establishes a state trust fund to cover startup and operational costs for school districts, mandates designated program advisors and regional coordinators, and requires UMMC to provide a project coordinator.
