6.018 Pledge of Allegiance
Policy
All full time schools managed by Cooperative Educational Services, in accordance with Connecticut statute 10-230, will provide time in each school day for students to salute the flag of the United States of America. The time provided shall not be construed to require any person to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
Rationale
It is important for students to understand the culture of the country they live in. The Pledge of Allegiance is a part of that culture and helps provide a daily focus on our roles as citizens.
