Mississippi Mandates Driver Ed for All | Jackson News

Mississippi’s making driver’s ed mandatory for all high schoolers starting in 2027—no opt-out, no excuses. With Senate Bill 2695, first-time drivers must prove completion of a full course covering written tests, road skills, and real-world scenarios like police stops. While schools aren’t forced to require it for graduation, the state’s pushing for universal access—with a $30 million funding ask to cover simulators and updated curriculum. Without it, some districts may fall short, pushing students toward pricey private schools. This isn’t just about passing a test—it’s about saving lives on the road.
