Mississippi SB2002 removes the requirement for the current district of attendance to approve student transfers.
Mississippi SB2002 amends the state code to eliminate the need for the school board of a child's current district to consent to a transfer to another district. Instead, the transferee school district's board must approve or refuse the transfer at their next regular meeting. The bill also mandates that the transferee district notify the transferring district of the decision and prohibits tuition fees for transferring students. The changes do not override enforceable desegregation orders or court-approved desegregation plans.
