Prekindergarten; require State Department of Education to create the "ABC Program" to provide instruction via Internet.

HB 305 requires Mississippi's State Department of Education to create an online prekindergarten program called the "ABC Program" to provide instruction statewide via the internet. The program must deliver daily, real-time lessons by licensed prekindergarten teachers during three different time slots each day, with all lessons available for replay on the program's website. It directly affects all Mississippi prekindergarten children and their families or caregivers by making structured early education accessible online. The department must track participation and report on the program's success to education committees by January 1, 2027.
