Require school districts to adopt a policy that excuses students to attend a course for religious instruction

Summary

The bill would compel every district to adopt a policy that excuses a student one period per week to attend a religious instruction class, as long as a parent or guardian gives written consent and the sponsoring group provides transport and assumes liability. It also counts the excused time toward attendance and funding, allows districts to award credit using secular standards, and permits civil suits for violations. The measure failed and was indefinitely postponed.
