Summary

Starting Jan. 1, 2027, every public school serving grades 5‑12 must put a state‑approved Ten Commandments poster in each history classroom and in a common area, but only if a donation of the poster or money to buy it is received. The poster must include the Ten Commandments, excerpts from founding documents, and a disclaimer that personal religious choices are left to students and families. The State Department of Education will list free resources and the State Board may adopt rules to carry out the requirement.
