SB 2160 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

School district enrollment choice; extend to National Guard members, regardless of children's residence.

SB 2160 would allow children of Mississippi National Guard members to enroll in any public school district, regardless of the child's residence, extending an existing policy for active military personnel. It limits enrollment transfers to one per academic year and ensures parents need not reapply for continued enrollment after initial approval. The bill also clarifies school districts are not required to provide transportation for these transfers. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
