Kentucky HB829 establishes a framework for moral instruction in local school districts, allowing pupils to attend such instruction during school.
Kentucky HB829 amends the Kentucky Revised Statutes to allow local school districts to provide moral instruction to pupils during school hours. Pupils attending moral instruction are credited with actual attendance and are not penalized for missing other school work. Participation is voluntary and free from coercion. The bill outlines requirements for providers, including background checks and insurance coverage. It also mandates that moral instruction be given without expense to the local board of education and prohibits discrimination against pupils based on participation.
