State of emergency; provide exception for school districts impacted by "Winter Storm Fern" to be allowed up to 15 days of hold harmless.

Summary

HB 1207 would amend Mississippi’s education statutes to let districts in northern Mississippi that were affected by Winter Storm Fern receive state per‑pupil funding for up to fifteen missed school days, rather than the usual ten‑day limit. The change applies only to districts still suffering after the governor’s emergency declaration that ran from Jan. 22 to Jan. 27, 2026. It aims to protect district finances while schools remain closed.
