Summary

The proposal would amend the state constitution so that every public K‑12 school must play or perform the first stanza of the national anthem at least once each week during school hours. Local boards of education would set the policy, using a Library of Congress recording or a school‑sanctioned performance. Supporters argue it promotes patriotism and historical awareness for students.
