Enacts provisions requiring school districts to develop policies for released-time courses
Referred: Emerging Issues(H)
Summary
The bill would force every school district to create a policy that lets parents excuse their children for released‑time religious courses, with written consent and a limit of one to five hours per week. The policy would set rules for attendance records, transportation, liability, use of district property, and how academic credit is awarded. It also gives families the right to sue a district that violates the policy.
