School curriculum; require teaching of certain high school subjects in "C", "D" and "F" rated districts.

HB 355 requires high schools in Mississippi school districts rated "C," "D," or "F" under the state's accountability system to teach vocational education, agriculture, forestry, and home economics as part of their curriculum. The State Board of Education must create uniform standards and collaborate with agencies to develop consistent course materials across all affected districts. Students taking these courses earn elective credits that count toward high school graduation requirements. The bill amends existing education codes to implement these changes, focusing on expanding practical career-focused education in struggling school districts.
