“The purpose of this study was to determine principals’ knowledge of, and beliefs about, released time for religious instruction. Released Time is a program that allows public school students, with parent permission, to leave campus during school hours to attend religious education classes. These classes are completely funded and taught by religious or community groups. Since 1952, the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of Released Time.”
