SB 2154 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Mississippi Charter School Authorizer Board; set length of member terms, and revise per pupil allocations received.

SB 2154 modifies Mississippi's charter school oversight by establishing staggered initial terms for the seven-member Charter School Authorizer Board (e.g., one-year, two-year, and three-year terms for initial appointments) and setting subsequent terms at three years with a two-term limit. It also authorizes the board to collect up to 3% of annual per-pupil state and local funding received by each charter school it oversees to cover administrative costs. The bill directly affects the board members, charter schools, and the state’s education funding structure for charter operations. The legislation died in committee on February 4, 2025, and was never enacted.
