Capital Expense Fund; FY2027 appropriation to Pascagoula-Gautier School District for expansion and upgrades to its CTE program.

SB 2168 appropriates $250,000 from Mississippi's Capital Expense Fund to the Pascagoula-Gautier School District for specific upgrades and expansion of its Career and Technical Education (CTE) program during fiscal year 2027 (July 2026-June 2027). The funding directly supports the district's CTE program infrastructure, including facility improvements or equipment needed for student training. The bill specifies that funds must be used solely for defraying costs related to this program expansion, with payment processed through the State Treasurer. This is a straightforward funding measure, not a policy change, and affects only the Pascagoula-Gautier School District's CTE initiatives.
