Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill amends the Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) to require a moment of silence or reflection of at least one minute, but not exceeding two minutes, at the start of each school day in all public schools. The policy must ensure that all students remain seated and silent, allowing them to individually meditate, pray, or engage in any other silent activity that does not interfere with or distract others. The policy also prohibits school personnel from providing instruction to students regarding the nature of the reflection and requires notification to parents and guardians about the policy and guidance for their students.
