PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

At the beginning of each school day, time shall be permitted for the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

Every assembly or meeting in each school shall begin with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.  Throughout the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, all students shall stand at respectful attention.  During recitation of the "pledge," each student shall place his/her right hand over his/her heart.

If a student, due to a conscientiously and sincerely held religious belief, feels entitled to an exemption to the requirement to recite the pledge, such student shall still be required to stand.
