Mississippi Dyslexia Education Funding Act; enact.
SB 2621, the Mississippi Dyslexia Education Funding Act, would establish a state grant program to fund dyslexia therapy and support staff in public schools. It requires every Mississippi school district to receive at least $100,000 by October 2025 for dyslexia therapy, with additional funds distributed via application. The bill creates a dedicated "Dyslexia Education Fund" in the state treasury to cover therapy costs, therapist staffing, and limited oversight expenses (capped at 1.25% of funds). This legislation, which died in committee in February 2025, directly affects students with dyslexia, public school districts, and licensed dyslexia therapists.
