Please call your state senator to support Released Time Education.
This is a great opportunity to let parents and local school districts take at least a little bit of local control over their kids’ education.
Though school boards already allow students to spend additional time on “Released Time” studies, SB 1457 (Morrell-R, Rancho Cucamonga), Released Time Education Credit, would give school boards discretion to consider certain programs for elective credit toward a student’s high school graduation. This can include religious instruction.
We need you to immediately urge your state senator to vote in favor of SB 1457. It is expected to be voted on some time between May 5 and 9.
Please see our previous e-alert regarding this bill.

Pray this bill will pass the Senate floor. Pray specifically for Sens. Wolk, Galgiani, Glazer, Leno, Hill, Jackson and De Leon to favor this bill. Sen. Wolk has been very hostile toward this legislation. Pray that the Lord will soften her heart.
