Starkville-Oktibbeha School District and MSU; authorize agreements to have jointly used primary and secondary schools.

HB 1495 authorizes the Starkville-Oktibbeha Consolidated School District and Mississippi State University (MSU) to jointly build, maintain, or operate primary and secondary schools on MSU’s campus or within the school district. The bill allows both entities to transfer funds to each other for these shared facilities under mutually agreed terms. It directly affects students attending these jointly operated schools and the districts/university managing them. The key mechanism enables collaborative use of physical facilities and shared funding, aiming to streamline educational infrastructure without specifying new programs or programs.
