School curriculum; require teaching of certain high school subjects in "C", "D" and "F" rated districts.
HB 211 would have required high schools in Mississippi school districts rated "C," "D," or "F" under the state accountability system to offer four specific courses: vocational education, agriculture, forestry, and home economics (covering child development, nutrition, and health). The State Board of Education would have created uniform curriculum standards and materials for these courses, which students could count as graduation-required electives. The bill also amended existing law to mandate home economics instruction in Grades 10-12 for these districts starting in 2026-2027. This legislation died in committee on February 3, 2026, and was never enacted.
