Florida bill advances, allowing school districts to authorize volunteer chaplains for student support services, with parental selection from provided lists.

A Florida bill is advancing that would allow school districts to authorize volunteer chaplains to provide support services and programs for students. Under the bill, districts and charter schools could adopt policies to include chaplains and parents would have the option to select a chaplain from a list provided by the school district, with lists including chaplains' religious affiliations. The proposal continues to gain support from Republicans.
