MS Educator Code of Conduct

The Mississippi Educator Code of Ethics outlines the professional standards of conduct for all licensed educators in Mississippi. This code is crucial because it safeguards the health, safety, and general welfare of both students and educators.

Knowing this information is important because any educator or administrator license may be revoked or suspended for engaging in unethical conduct, particularly concerning educator/student relationships. Superintendents are required to report license holders who engage in such unethical conduct to the Mississippi Department of Education.

Access the MS Educator Code of Ethics in PDF form here.
