Commission on School Accreditation; task with governing professional conduct of school board members.

SB 2306 requires Mississippi's Commission on School Accreditation (under the State Board of Education) to create rules governing school board members' professional conduct and establish penalties for violations. It directly affects all Mississippi school board members, authorizing the Department of Education to direct school boards to reduce or remove a member's compensation if they violate these rules. The bill creates a new subcommittee to assist with reviewing and addressing conduct violations. This law establishes a formal process for holding school board members accountable through financial penalties for misconduct, rather than changing educational standards or funding. The rules and penalties will take effect starting July 1, 2026.
