SB 2171 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Public schools; require a brief period of quiet reflection at the opening of school every day.

SB 2171, titled the "Period of Quiet Reflection Act," would have required Mississippi public school classrooms to begin each school day with a 60-second period of quiet reflection. This provision would have applied directly to all public school students and staff in Mississippi, explicitly stating the reflection should not be religious in nature. The bill, which died in committee on February 4, 2025, aimed to establish this daily practice as a non-religious moment of silent reflection at the start of each school day.
