SB 2155 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Partnership between Energy High School Academy and Vicksburg-Warren and Claiborne school districts; extend date of repeal on.

SB 2155 extends the expiration date of the Energy Academy Act, which allows Vicksburg-Warren and Claiborne County school districts to partner with a nuclear facility and state agencies to operate an energy-focused high school academy. The bill would have kept the program active beyond its original 2029 expiration, directly affecting students in Warren and Claiborne counties who could access career-focused curricula and internships in the energy industry. Key provisions included establishing a Partnership Council with representatives from school districts, nuclear facilities, chambers of commerce, and local government to oversee the academy. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
