PLEDGES OF ALLEGIANCE AND A MINUTE OF SILENCE

Texas law requires students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States flag and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Texas flag each day.  Parents may submit a written request to the principal, to excuse their child from reciting a pledge.

 A minute of silence will follow recitation of the pledges.  The student may choose to reflect, pray, meditate, or engage in any other silent activity so long as the silent activity does not interfere with or distract others.

 PRAYER

 Each student has a right to individually, voluntarily, and silently pray or meditate in school in a manner that does not disrupt instructional or other activities of the school.  The school will not require, encourage, or coerce a student to engage in or to refrain from such prayer or meditation during any school activity.

 PRINTED MATERIAL

 School-sponsored newspapers and/or yearbooks are under the complete supervision of the teacher and campus principal.

 All written material over which the District does not exercise editorial control that is intended for distribution to students shall be submitted to the principal for review and approval.  Appeals of materials disapproved must be submitted according to Board Policy FNG.
