Vocational education programs; require to be established in every school district or shared operation between multiple districts.
HB 756 requires every Mississippi school district to establish a vocational education program or partner with neighboring districts to jointly operate one. It mandates agreements between districts to cover financing, facility operation, staffing, and student admission for shared programs. The bill directly affects all public school districts by requiring structured vocational training options for students, replacing the previous optional system. However, the bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
