Mississippi uses native Continuing Education Units: a Class A five-year license renews with 10 CEUs in the content/job-skill area (alternatives: 3 semester hours + 5 CEUs, 6 semester hours, or National Board certification). Higher license classes require 5 CEUs or 3 semester hours. State guidance equates 1 CEU to 10 contact/clock hours; totalHours is preserved as 10 CEUs, not converted to 100 hours. Added 2026-09-30: Miss. Code §37-173-16 requires dyslexia PD every 3 years for K-12 licensed educators/paraprofessionals; §§37-3-83(9), 37-3-101, 37-3-103 require a mental health & suicide prevention refresher every 2 years; employment-based, countable toward CEUs (MDE required PD 24-25).
