The bill amends the Revised School Code to update the requirements for the display of the United States flag in public schools and public school academies in Michigan. It mandates that each school district board or board of directors must purchase or possess a flag measuring at least 4 feet 2 inches by 8 feet, along with a flag staff and necessary appliances for display. The flag must be displayed on the flag staff at all times during school hours, except in inclement weather, when it must be prominently displayed within the school building.

Additionally, the bill requires that a United States flag of no less than 2 feet by 3 feet be displayed, hoisted, draped, or placed in a stand or post in a prominent location in each classroom or instructional site where students recite the Pledge of Allegiance. This ensures that the flag is visible and accessible during the recitation, reinforcing the importance of patriotism in educational settings.
