HB 1258 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

North Tippah School District; provide for special election to be held in on the question of closing Falkner Attendance Center.

HB 1258 would require a special election in the North Tippah School District on November 3, 2026, to let residents vote on whether to close Falkner Attendance Center. If a majority votes "No," the school board cannot close the facility or propose closing it for eight school years. The bill amends state law to mandate this voter approval process before school closures, overriding the board's usual discretion under existing rules. This directly affects North Tippah School District residents and the future of Falkner Attendance Center.
