Missouri SB1165 requires school districts to allow students to be excused from class for religious or moral instruction off school property.
Missouri SB1165 mandates that school districts adopt a policy permitting students to be excused from school for religious or moral instruction courses provided by independent entities. These courses, termed "released time courses," must meet specific criteria, including parental consent, no use of school funds or resources, and maintenance of attendance records by the independent entity. Students who participate in these courses are considered in attendance and may receive elective credit.
