MS SB2674

Licensed educators and administrators whose licenses are suspended or revoked may appeal decisions of the Commission on Teacher and Administrator Education to the State Board of Education within 10 days, with appeals heard on the existing record

Educators employed by the Mississippi School of the Arts, School for the Blind, School for the Deaf, or School for Mathematics and Science must appeal license revocations or suspensions directly to Hinds County Chancery Court rather than the State Board of Education

Revocation, suspension, or surrender of a license in another state results in immediate denial of Mississippi licensure until the out-of-state records are cleared

The State Board of Education may revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew licenses for educators who knowingly or willfully commit acts affecting the validity of accountability results, with penalties including permanent revocation based on offense severity

Filing an appeal in chancery court does not automatically stay enforcement of the State Board of Education's decision, though the board may grant a stay on terms it deems proper
