Lumpkin County Superintendent: Prayer encouraged as long as it doesnt disrupt class
Placeholder Image
A week after a student-led prayer resulted in more than 50 Lumpkin County High School students skipping classes, the system’s superintendent said no action will be taken other than working to educate teachers and students about the law pertaining to prayer in school. At the start of the school day on May 1, a student approached a coach in the school’s gym, and the two prayed together. More students, several of them athletes involved in the school’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter, and a few teachers joined in the prayer.
