Key school choice bills die in Senate
Tuesday, March 4 was the deadline for committees to advance legislation that originated in the opposite chamber, and a handful of key school choose bills did not survive the deadline.
By the end of the day Tuesday, the Senate failed to advance House Bills 1078, 1432, and 1435, which would have expanded education options for Mississippi families. While we are disappointed in this result, we recognize that nothing is dead during the legislative session until it is “dead, dead, dead,” and we will continue working with lawmakers to bring school choice to more Mississippi families.
