Release Time Class
Now, by state law, a new and effectual door has opened called "released time". What is that? Let's take a look at Michigan Administrative Code R 340.71. This law states that ...
"The board of education or its duly authorized representative, upon written request of the parent, guardian or person having control or charge of any child or children, shall release from attendance at the public school any child or children to attend religious instruction classes not to exceed two hours (120 minutes) per week."
Or, in other words, if Mom or Dad sign the permission slips, the kids can go from school on school time to a nearby church or other suitable place for Bible Class! And they do come, transported by the RBM teacher or other authorized personnel. Ten, twenty, thirty and sometimes a hundred or more; half of them kids who don't go to any church or Sunday School - yet. Only we take them once a month so the school isn't bothered too much, so the Bible teacher can cover more territory, conduct more classes, reach more children, and so our materials department can keep up with fresh lessons and visuals.
