School enrollment; criminalize enrollment without establishing domicile within the school district.

SB 2038 would criminalize enrolling a child in a Mississippi public school without establishing legal residence (domicile) within the school district. Parents or guardians who enroll a child without local residency would face misdemeanor charges, with penalties of up to $500 or 30 days in jail. The bill also requires the state education department to expel the child and mandates schools to report violations to law enforcement. It directly affects families enrolling children in schools outside their residential district and school districts enforcing this rule.
