AI Summary
This bill requires local school boards in Mississippi to adopt a policy, starting with the 2026-2027 academic year, that grants school district employees free admission to all athletic and extracurricular events sponsored by their school district and governed by the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA), which is the state's governing body for high school sports and activities. This cost-free admission can be included as part of an employee's compensation in their employment contract, but it is strictly for the employee only and cannot be transferred to anyone else, such as a spouse or child.
