Urge Warren County Schools to Approve LifeWise Academy

Last session, the General Assembly passed SB 19, which created a process for local school districts to allow off-campus moral instruction, including Bible classes. These classes would be completely optional for families and students to participate in, and the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the First Amendment allows these optional off-campus Bible classes (Zorach v. Clauson in 1952). Now local school boards can approve prospective programs that seek to offer those classes to families in the local school system.

The Family Foundation has partnered with LifeWise Academy to share information about this new law and to equip parents to bring these optional off-campus Bible classes to local school districts. LifeWise is a Christian non-profit that provides off-campus Bible classes to students during the school day. Over 1,000 schools across 34 states allow students to participate in a LifeWise program during school hours. LifeWise organizes a local team to provide the programming, transportation, and staff without receiving any taxpayer funding. You can learn more about LifeWise at their website.

Unfortunately, the Warren County School Board recently voted down LifeWise's program proposal by local parents and community members with only 2 board members voting yes and 3 board members voting no. We are grateful that Garry Chaffin and Amy Duvall voted to approve. Board members Jennifer Kash, Thomas Manco, and Adam Jackson all voted against. We are urging the Warren County School Board to reverse course and allow LifeWise in Warren County schools. Please send a message to the Warren County School Board urging them to reconsider their vote on LifeWise.
