Summary

Elective course in comparative religion. Amends the statute authorizing comparative religion electives in grades nine through 12. Currently, the law states that local school boards must authorize such electives. The bill states that the Board of Education, rather than local school boards, must provide authorization for comparative religion classes and thereby gives discretion to local school boards to determine whether such elective courses will be offered in their school divisions. This bill is identical to SB 62. View Full Text »
