Under the new law, school districts and charter schools in Florida have the authorization to implement policies allowing chaplains to offer support, services and programs aimed at benefiting students. Students must receive parental consent to participate, and chaplains must pass background checks., a group recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt church, has expressed its intent to place its own chaplains in the schools, citing the First Amendment’s protection of religious freedom.
“Some have said that if you do a school chaplain program, that somehow you’re going to have Satanists running around in all our schools,” he said at a press conference. “We’re not playing those games in Florida.
