Mississippi HB159 amends the Mississippi Code to provide funding for additional assistant teachers in "C," "D," and "F" school districts. The bill allocates funds for one assistant teacher in "C" districts, two in "D" districts, and three in "F" districts. Assistant teachers must have a high school diploma or equivalent and demonstrate proficiency in reading and writing. The bill mandates that these funds be used to reduce teacher-student ratios in kindergarten through third grade.
