Education funding; update language, and revise multipliers for gifted education and CTE.

SB 2291 is titled to update Mississippi's education funding formula by revising multipliers for gifted education and including seventh and eighth graders in Career and Technical Education (CTE) funding. The bill text states it will amend Section 37-151-205 to increase funding weights for gifted students and adjust CTE multipliers, but the provided context does not include the specific language of these revisions. Instead, the truncated bill text details unrelated provisions about rehiring retired teachers (amending Section 25-11-126), which is inconsistent with the bill's stated purpose. Without the full text of the funding formula changes, a complete summary of the policy impact cannot be generated. The bill died in committee in February 2026.
