Bill overview
House Bill 2266 allows school districts and charter schools to create policies that excuse students from school attendance for religious purposes. These policies must require written consent from the student’s custodian and specify that religious instruction or activities occur outside of school grounds. The bill also outlines specific circumstances, such as widespread illness or threats of violence, under which a school district must seek authorization from the Department of Education for school closures.
