Study Committee on Mathematical Literacy; create.

SB 2504 creates a study committee to examine methods for improving math skills among kindergarten through third-grade students in Mississippi public schools, with the stated goal that every third grader can read at or above grade level (though the committee's focus is on math). The committee must study current math curriculum, the Literacy-Based Promotion Act (a reading-focused law), and the costs of expanding data coach programs for math, then provide recommendations to the legislature by December 1, 2026. Composed of 11 members including the State Superintendent, legislative education committee chairs, and appointed senators and representatives, the committee will dissolve by January 1, 2027. This bill was referred to the Education Committee but died there in early 2026.
