Trustees vote not to adopt statutory daily prayer resolution required by SB 11
Summary
After discussion, the board voted to decline adopting the statutory resolution establishing a daily period of prayer in schools under Senate Bill 11; trustees said the district is already 'faith friendly' and preferred not to add the mandated paperwork and oversight.
The board considered whether to adopt the statutory resolution required by Senate Bill 11 to establish a daily period of prayer in every school, or to vote not to adopt it. Trustees who spoke said the district already supports faith‑based activities and that adopting the statutory resolution would add burdensome paperwork and complexity.
One trustee said, "I think our district is very faith friendly already" and advocated voting not to adopt the resolution, calling it "cumbersome". That motion to not adopt the statutory resolution was made, seconded and carried by the board.
The decision records the board’s choice not to adopt the SB 11 statutory resolution; the transcript reflects the trustees’ policy preference and a unanimous voice vote against adoption.
