Failed·2/12/26

Mississippi SB2486 aims to study and plan for the consolidation of school districts to improve efficiency and educational outcomes.

Mississippi SB2486 tasks the Standing Commission on School District Efficiency with studying the need to consolidate school districts. The commission must compile data on school districts, including enrollment, funding, and operational details. The commission will submit a report to the Legislature and Governor by November 30, 2026, and annually thereafter. The Legislature will determine which districts to consolidate in the 2027 Regular Session and subsequent sessions. Districts subject to consolidation can propose their own plans, or the commission will develop a plan.
