SB 2063 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Public schools; require a brief period of quiet reflection at the opening of school every day.

SB 2063, titled the "Period of Quiet Reflection Act," would require Mississippi public school classrooms to implement a 60-second period of silent reflection at the start of every school day, directed by local school boards. This applies to all students and teachers in public schools across the state. The bill explicitly states this quiet time is not intended as a religious exercise but as a moment for individual reflection. The proposed law was scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2026, but it died in committee on February 3, 2026, and was not enacted.
