Florida Department of Education announces Model Policy for Volunteer School Chaplain Program

Press release from Florida Department of Education

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today, Commissioner of Education Manny Diaz, Jr. announced the Florida Department of Education Model Policy for the Volunteer School Chaplain Program.

“Following the signing of House Bill 931, the Department has created a model policy to provide school districts with the appropriate guidelines to ensure that credible chaplains can volunteer in Florida’s schools. These chaplains will serve as an additional resource for students. Florida welcomes only legitimate and officially authorized chaplains to become volunteers at their local schools and to provide students with morally sound guidance.”

The full policy can be found here.

  • Good idea. Let’s bring prayer back into schools and have a moment of silent meditation after we recite the pledge of allegiance & sing the national anthem.

    God bless America! Land that I love.
    Stand beside her, and guide her….through the night with the light from above…

    Maybe the chaplains can administer the corporal punishment with the paddle for the unruly students.

    • I don’t know if you were being sincere, but as a retired teacher & a mother of 2 current teachers. . .
