Summer Youth Training Employment Program; authorize school districts to establish.
HB 183 would allow Mississippi school districts with low accountability ratings (D or F) to create summer programs for rising 10th graders (students who completed 9th grade). The program must include three required parts: soft skills training (like teamwork and time management), personal living skills (covering job applications and budgeting), and academic planning for college or careers. Students who complete the program would receive a certificate, and districts may offer stipends if funding is available. The bill allocates $2 million for this initiative, requiring districts to collaborate with local communities or junior colleges to design the programs.
