School districts; require Legislature's approval as condition for use of certain federal funds.

SB 2159 requires Mississippi school districts to annually report federal education funding they receive to the legislature and governor by January 1 each year. Starting in 2026, the state legislature must review these programs and pass bills either approving or disapproving the use of the funds. School districts would then be required to refuse federal funds for unapproved programs, except when federal law explicitly prevents state approval or would be harmed by requiring it. The bill aims to establish legislative oversight of how federal education funds are utilized by school districts.
