AI Summary
This bill requires local and regional school boards throughout the state to display a copy of the United States Constitution in a prominent, visible location within each school they oversee. The legislation aims to ensure that students have direct access to view and learn about the foundational document that establishes the rights and liberties of American citizens. Additionally, the bill provides funding assistance to school boards that lack the financial resources to purchase and display a Constitution, thereby removing potential economic barriers to implementation.
