Public K-12 education; Pledge of Allegiance required each day, local boards of education required to vote whether to adopt policy allowing daily prayer and reading of religious text, constitutional amendment

Summary

The amendment would require every public K‑12 school in Alabama to have students recite the Pledge of Allegiance each morning and would mandate each local board of education to vote on whether to allow voluntary daily prayer and a devotional reading. Boards that fail to adopt the pledge policy or to hold the required vote could lose up to 12.5% of their state‑administered funding, with additional cuts possible for continued violations.
