School boards; require to report and publish a fiscal accounting report of compensation received by board members and all employees of the school district.

HB 1298 requires Mississippi school boards to publish detailed reports of all compensation paid to school board members (including per diems and travel reimbursements) and all district employees (teachers, administrators, staff). The bill mandates that these reports specify exact amounts for each individual, covering both salaried and non-salaried personnel. It would have taken effect July 1, 2026, but died in committee on February 3, 2026, and never became law. This requirement directly affects school districts, board members, and all employees receiving compensation from public schools.
