Speaker asks board to allow Bible handouts at schools
What happened
On August 11, 2026, a speaker asked the board to adopt a policy letting outside groups hand out non-school materials, with Bibles as the example, under limits set by principals. The board attorney asked members to study it for 30 days. The September and October meetings did not take it up.
Why it matters to families
Handing out religious materials in public schools can raise legal questions, and the board may be asked to vote on it.
