Mississippi Compulsory School Attendance Law; revise provisions concerning.

SB 2286 consolidates Mississippi's Office of Compulsory School Attendance Enforcement and Office of Dropout Prevention into a single office within the State Department of Education. It requires all school districts to implement statewide-approved dropout prevention programs by the 2026-2027 school year, focusing on reducing absenteeism and supporting at-risk students. The bill also establishes new minimum salary standards for school attendance officers and mandates monthly attendance reporting to the state office. These changes directly affect school districts, attendance officers, and the State Department of Education, aiming to standardize enforcement and prevention efforts across the state.
