HB 934 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Independent Schools Infrastructure Grant Program Act of 2022; extend repealer on.

HB 934 extends the expiration date for Mississippi's Independent Schools Infrastructure Grant Program, which provides funding to eligible private schools for infrastructure improvements. The program, funded by federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) coronavirus recovery funds, allows qualifying independent schools (members of MAIS or state/national accrediting bodies, not under state education authority) to apply for grants covering water, wastewater, stormwater, and broadband projects. Each school can receive up to $100,000 in reimbursable grants, with funds limited to prospective projects initiated after July 1, 2022. The extension ensures the program continues operating beyond its original sunset date while requiring annual reporting to the legislature on grant allocations and project status.
