(The Conversation) — The Supreme Court has twice weighed in on ‘release time’ policies, and many states allow districts to implement them. Oklahoma is the most recent state to allow school boards to implement “release time”: off-site classes with religious or moral instruction that K-12 students can attend for part of school days with parental consent. Gov. Kevin Stitt signed House Bill 1425 into law, which authorized the program, on June 5, 2024.
