SB 2503 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Public schools; revise accountability framework.

SB 2503 would have revised Mississippi's public school accountability system by requiring the State Board of Education to establish statewide educational goals and standards for all public elementary and secondary schools. It mandated annual evaluations of schools and districts, required three-year improvement plans, and specified curriculum content including Mississippi history, the U.S. Constitution, and cultural diversity. The bill also directed the superintendent to collect data on program effectiveness and student services like English language learning. However, this bill "Died In Committee" on February 3, 2026, and did not become law.
