Whatever that law is, it is clearly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court ruled in 1943 that requiring students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools was a violation of the 1th amendment and freedom of speech. Bring a copy of that ruling to the next school board meeting, speak up and see what happens.
There IS NO REQUIREMENT!
The OP stated that even though the State law doesn't require it, the school's policy as to how they implement it DOES, so they school is still in violation of this ruling.
