The Elementary and Secondary Education Act, in its current and past versions, requires the U.S. Department of Education to provide guidance on prayer in schools every two years, but that guidance_hasn't been updated since 2003, a senior administration official said. (Was supposed to be updated every 2 years!)
"President Trump is committed to making sure that people of faith, particularly children," are not discouraged from constitutionally protected rights to pray, an administration official said in a conference call with reporters.
The new_school prayer guidance, which will be published in the Federal Register Thursday Jan. 21, reiterates requirements under existing law that school districts must annually certify to their state departments of education that they have "no policy prohibiting participation in constitutionally protected prayer," officials said. State education departments must have a process for fielding complaints the right to prayer has been violated, and they must report any complaints or lawsuits over school prayer to the federal Education Department, the guidance says.
The guidance also reiterates that student religious organizations must be given the same access to school facilities as secular groups, which the Education Department previously noted in 1998 guidance that is still in place.
Religious Organizations
In addition to the prayer guidance, nine federal agencies, including the Education Department, will issue guidance that lifts requirements from an executive order signed by President Barack Obama that faith-affiliated social service programs receiving federal funds_must provide notice of alternative providers._It's important to note that_Trump already revoked that executive order in 2018.
Also Thursday, the administration will issue a directive that religously affiliated organizations may receive federal grant money passed through state agencies, even if their states have laws that prohibit public funding for religious organizations. Those laws, known as Blaine ammendments, are the subject of a_case on tax-credit scholarships for private schools_that will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court next week.
