Prekindergarten; require State Department of Education to create the "ABC Program" to provide instruction via Internet.

HB 167 proposed creating Mississippi's "ABC Program" to deliver prekindergarten instruction statewide via the internet. It would require daily real-time lessons by licensed teachers (with three scheduled time slots per day), downloadable curriculum-based materials, and a method to track student participation and progress. The State Department of Education would need to report on the program's success to legislative committees by January 2028. The bill, which died in committee on February 3, 2026, never became law and would have affected Mississippi's prekindergarten students and families.
