Qualified licensed dyslexia therapy teacher; require the State Department of Education to employ and assign one to each county.

HB 914 requires Mississippi's State Department of Education to assign a qualified licensed dyslexia therapy teacher supervisor to every county. These supervisors must develop evidence-based reading interventions for students diagnosed with dyslexia, using strategies like the 3-Tier Instructional Model and accommodations under IDEA/504 Plans. The bill also mandates a program using "dyslexia data coaches" (experts in phonemic awareness and data analysis) to support teachers in improving literacy, with staff required to live in their assigned counties and be state employees. Implementation depends on legislative funding and takes effect July 1, 2026.
