AI Summary
This bill mandates that public school districts in Mississippi that receive a "C" accountability rating must provide online remedial education courses for all enrolled students, covering at least vocabulary development, general mathematics, basic geography, and basic science, with the State Board of Education determining any additional necessary subjects. These online courses will be graded separately and appear on student report cards like any other class. The State Department of Education will solicit proposals from qualified virtual instruction entities to provide and manage these courses, with the selected entity responsible for tracking student progress, administering diagnostic evaluations to identify individual weaknesses, and reporting these findings to school counselors and parents or legal guardians, all while adhering to privacy laws. The State Board of Education will establish the necessary rules and regulations to implement and enforce these requirements, with the act taking effect on July 1, 2026.
