School nurses; direct the Office of Healthy Schools to develop salary schedule for that all school districts shall use when employing.

HB 532 requires Mississippi's Office of Healthy Schools to create a statewide salary schedule for school nurses based on their education and experience. All public school districts must use this schedule as the minimum pay rate when hiring school nurses. The bill directly affects school districts across Mississippi and school nurses employed in public schools. It establishes a standardized pay structure to ensure consistent compensation, replacing district-specific salary decisions with a state-mandated minimum. The schedule becomes effective July 1, 2025.
