AI Summary
This bill requires local school boards in Mississippi to adopt a policy starting in the 2025-2026 academic year that provides cost-free admission to school district employees for all school-sponsored athletic and extracurricular events governed by the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA). The policy can be incorporated into employment contracts and will treat the free event admission as a compensatory component of employee salaries. Importantly, the cost-free admission is strictly limited to the individual employee and cannot be transferred to or used by any third parties, including family members like spouses or children. The legislation aims to offer a modest additional benefit to school district employees by allowing them free entry to school-sponsored events, with the policy becoming effective on July 1, 2025.
