Mississippi sets new education goals

Beginning July 1, 2026, the law replaces the former Education Achievement Council with the Mississippi Postsecondary Attainment Council. The new council sets statewide goals and strategies to help more adults earn degrees, certifications, and industry credentials tied to workforce needs. It has 26 voting members and six nonvoting legislative members. The Mississippi Office of Workforce Development provides staff support, and the council cannot replace existing state education bodies.

Council members can claim expenses

Beginning July 1, 2026, legislative council members receive per diem and expense reimbursement under existing state law. Other members serve without pay but may be reimbursed for necessary travel using funds available and set aside for that purpose. The law sets no reimbursement amounts.
