Bill > HB308

This bill requires school districts in Mississippi to mandate that teachers develop and integrate daily and weekly homework assignments into their curriculum. Specifically, daily homework must include both written and reading components, and weekly assignments must incorporate vocabulary and spelling lessons. The school board of each district will be responsible for ensuring teachers comply with this requirement. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, which gives schools and teachers time to prepare and adjust their teaching approaches. By establishing these homework guidelines, the legislation aims to promote consistent academic engagement and skill development for students outside of classroom hours, with a particular focus on improving reading, writing, vocabulary, and spelling skills.
