Public schools; provide for portability between.
SB 2602 required Mississippi school districts to report detailed information about student transfer requests to the state education department annually, including transfer criteria, fees, school capacity by grade and program, and reasons for rejections. Districts would have had to submit these reports by June 15 each year, starting in 2025. The state would then compile and share this data with all districts to increase transparency in how transfers are processed. This bill aimed to provide clearer information for families seeking to move students between districts under existing transfer rules.
