Nebraska LB550 would require school districts to excuse students for religious instruction courses.
Nebraska LB550 would require school districts to adopt a policy that excuses students to attend a course for religious instruction. The policy must include parental consent, attendance record maintenance, transportation provision, and liability assumption by the sponsoring entity. School districts may award academic credit for these courses, evaluated using secular criteria. Any aggrieved party can bring a civil action against the school district for violations. The bill declares an emergency and would take effect upon passage.
