Mississippi Student Funding Formula; include grades 7-8 in career and technical education multiplier for grades 9-12.

SB 2764 would update Mississippi's school funding formula to include students in grades 7 and 8 in the career and technical education (CTE) funding multiplier, which previously applied only to grades 9-12. This change would provide additional state funding for school districts offering CTE courses to middle school students, directly affecting districts with CTE programs in grades 7-8. The bill, which died in committee on February 4, 2025, was scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2025. It does not change other funding mechanisms but specifically expands the CTE multiplier to cover middle school grades.
