Instruction
Pledge of Allegiance
Each district school shall provide time each school day for students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Such recitation is voluntary. If, due to personal philosophy or belief, a student has made the personal decision not to recite the "Pledge," he/she/they may choose to remain seated and silent. Students may wish to use this time to reflect. All students must be courteous and respectful of the beliefs of others.
Non-participants are expected to maintain order and decorum appropriate to the school environment.
