Motivating Parents and Children (M.P.A.C.) Pilot Program; establish within the State Department of Education.

HB 369 establishes the Motivating Parents and Children (M.P.A.C.) Pilot Program within Mississippi's State Department of Education to provide grants to six selected school districts (three urban, three rural) for services supporting families of compulsory-school-age children. Participating districts must offer parental involvement services like parenting classes, home-school coordinators, and community-based support programs modeled after Communities In Schools. The bill also requires parents to attend school functions in these districts and allows for driver's license suspension for students under 18 who withdraw from school, while exempting them from reinstatement fees. The program will launch in the 2026-2027 school year.
