School attendance officers, State Superintendent of Education, Executive Director of Community College Board; set salaries.
SB 2157 increases the minimum base salary for Mississippi school attendance officers and establishes a new salary scale based on factors like education and experience. It also sets a salary cap for the State Superintendent of Public Education and another cap for the Executive Director of the Community College Board. The bill directly affects school attendance officers (by changing their pay structure) and two state education officials (by limiting their compensation). These changes were proposed through amendments to existing state education code sections but died in committee before becoming law.
