Student residency requirements; require State Board of Education to adopt uniform policy to be implemented by school boards.

HB 433 requires Mississippi's State Board of Education to create a uniform policy for residency requirements for students in public schools. This policy must be adopted and followed by all local school boards across the state. The bill clarifies that this uniform policy does not change existing parental rights to legally transfer children between school districts under current law (as outlined in sections 37-15-29 and 37-15-31). It specifically preserves parents' ability to transfer children based on circumstances like military service, sibling transfers, or transportation distance. The bill does not alter transfer procedures but standardizes the residency rules school boards must apply.
