The bill amends Chapter 16-12 of the General Laws, which pertains to the "Rights and Duties of Teachers Generally," by adding a new section titled "16-12-3.2. Moment of silence on September 11." This new provision allows a building administrator or a teacher in all grades in all public schools to provide the opportunity for students to observe a brief moment of silence on every September 11 in memory of the tragic events of September 11, 2001. The act will take effect upon passage.
