The legislation, signed into law in July by Governor Mike DeWine, requires all Ohio public school districts to adopt policies that “reasonably accommodate the sincerely held religious beliefs and practices of individual students.” A key provision allows students to take up to three “religious expression days” per school year without academic penalty.
