Schools; require musical instructors in at least one elementary school in each school district.

HB 160 requires every Mississippi public school district to hire at least one vocal music instructor and one instrumental music instructor for elementary schools. If a district has multiple elementary schools, these instructors must rotate between sites to provide students with at least 40 minutes of music instruction weekly, based on state standards. The bill amends school board powers to ensure compliance with this requirement, directing boards to implement the rotation system when full-time staffing per school isn't feasible. This directly affects all Mississippi school districts and elementary students by guaranteeing regular music education access.
