What Can My School District Do?

All school districts, regardless of whether they are required by law to allow released time, should implement good policy and be prepared for when a released time program may approach the district. The time to set the policy is before an active program is pressuring the district. Research polices the district can implement to protect teachers' and students' instruction time. Set polices that limit disruptions to students and the ability for proselytization to occur, impacting other students of faith or no faith. A more detailed write-up on school board policies can be read here.

Policy Notes
Nebraska State Law No state law, federal rulings still apply. School disricts may allow students to be released for religious study or they may also not allow it.
Law Notes LB550 is sponsored by Lifewise. The bill will require schools work with RTRI programs. The bill also allows Lifewise to use the school buildings, public funds, and resources. This is a direct contradiction to Zorach v. Clauson (1952).
