AI Summary
This bill allows public preK-12 schools and public charter schools in Alabama to employ or accept as volunteers campus chaplains to provide support, services, and programs, starting in the 2024-2025 school year. The campus chaplains are not required to be certified by the State Board of Education, but they must have completed a recognized chaplain training program. The schools must conduct criminal history background checks on the chaplains and cannot employ or accept as volunteers any chaplains who have been convicted of sex offender-related offenses. Each local board of education and public charter school governing body must vote by April 1, 2025, on whether to adopt a policy authorizing the use of campus chaplains under this bill.
