Homework; require teachers to incorporate daily and weekly assignments into their curriculum.

HB 164 requires Mississippi public school teachers to include specific daily homework (written and reading assignments) and weekly vocabulary/spelling assignments in their classroom lessons. It directly affects all teachers in Mississippi public school districts and their students. The bill mandates that school boards enforce these requirements, with daily assignments covering written and reading tasks, and weekly assignments focusing on vocabulary and spelling. However, the bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and has not become law. It would have taken effect July 1, 2026, if passed.
