HB 84 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Schools; require online remedial education classes for students in "C" rated schools.

HB 84 requires public school districts rated "C" under Mississippi's accountability system to provide online remedial courses for all enrolled students. The bill mandates courses covering vocabulary, math, geography, science, and other grade-appropriate subjects, with separate grading on report cards. It directs the state to issue a request for proposals (RFP) to hire a virtual instruction provider to manage the courses, track student progress, and report individual academic weaknesses to counselors and parents. The bill, which died in committee on February 3, 2026, would have taken effect July 1, 2026, if enacted.
