Charter schools; bring forward code section regarding payments from State Department of Education.
SB 2617 is a procedural bill that reorganizes an existing Mississippi code section (37-28-55) related to charter school funding, moving it to a new location in the statutes for potential future amendment. It does not create new funding rules but clarifies how state payments to charter schools should be calculated and distributed based on student enrollment, including adjustments for enrollment projections and timing requirements for payments. The bill specifically details how the State Department of Education and local school districts must handle payments for resident and non-resident students, federal program funds, transportation, and classroom supplies. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law.
