Early childhood education employees; clarify qualifications exemption for those employed in programs not granted by SDE.

Summary

The bill amends Mississippi’s early‑childhood education statutes to exempt teachers, assistant teachers and other staff working in pre‑kindergarten or early‑childhood programs that are not approved by the State Department of Education but are housed in charter schools authorized by the Mississippi Charter School Authorizer Board. It clarifies that these employees do not have to meet the state‑mandated licensing and coursework standards that apply to other early‑education programs. The change would affect staffing requirements for charter‑school early‑learning classrooms.
