The Hall County School District will provide First Amendment training to its staff and its insurance carrier is negotiating the payment of legal fees to a group that sued the school system over the role of prayer and Christianity in athletics programs. The system and the American Humanist Association’s Appignani Humanist Legal Center announced the settlement Monday morning. Superintendent Will Schofield said he could envision a module being added on First Amendment-based prayer guidelines for staff members to sign off on and go through an online refresher.
