AI Summary
This bill amends existing Mississippi law to prohibit student pick-up from school buses before 7:00 AM for 30 days starting October 1 and for 30 days after the beginning of daylight saving time in March. This is to ensure that students do not have to travel to and from school in the dark, which can be unsafe. The bill also authorizes and directs local school boards to begin the school day no earlier than 8:30 AM during these same time periods for the same safety reasons. The bill aims to improve school bus safety and student safety during the darker morning hours in the fall and early spring.
