"Mississippi State Special Schools Partnership and Autonomy Act of 2026"; establish.

Summary

The bill creates a legal framework that lets Mississippi’s specialized public schools—like the School for Mathematics and Science, the School of the Arts, and the Schools for the Deaf and Blind—enter into agreements with public universities for academic and operational collaboration. It requires State Board of Education approval, public posting of agreements, and bars universities from gaining any governing authority over the schools. The measure also adds formula funding for these schools starting in FY 2027.
