for this section is to protect the freedom of speech guaranteed by the First Amendment to
the United States Constitution and Article 1, Section 4 of the Constitution of Alabama of

thereof as given by the United States Supreme Court. (b) On public school, other public, or
other property, non-sectarian, non-proselytizing student-initiated...

adoption of policies in public school systems to prevent the bullying of students. It is the
further intent of the Legislature that this chapter apply only to student against student
bullying, intimidation, violence, and threats of violence in the public schools of Alabama,

Section 16-1-20.4 Period of quiet reflection. (a) The Legislature of Alabama finds that in
the hectic society of today all too few citizens are able to experience even a moment of quiet
reflection before plunging headlong into the activities of daily life. Young citizens are
particularly affected by the absence of an opportunity for a moment of quiet reflection. The
Legislature finds that our young, and society as a whole, would be well served if students
in the public schools were afforded a moment of quiet reflection at the beginning of each
school day and at the opening of school athletic events and graduation ceremonies. (b) At
the opening of school every day in each public school classroom, the teacher in charge shall
conduct a brief period of quiet reflection for 60 seconds with the participation of every
pupil in the classroom. (c) At the beginning of every school athletic event and graduation
ceremony, the principal of the school, or his or her designee, shall conduct a brief...

in a school building, on school grounds, on school buses, or at other school-sponsored functions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, city and county boards of education and the local superintendent

basis. Students who are expelled for violation of this section shall not be allowed to attend

Section 16-16A-7 Additional findings; bonds authorized; procedures. (a) The Legislature finds
that the number of students attending the several school systems located in those areas of
North Alabama that will be directly impacted by the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions
will collectively increase by an estimated 9,000 students. As a result, there will be a need
for the construction of additional school facilities as well as the renovation of existing
school facilities. The Legislature also finds that the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions
will have a positive impact on future receipts to the Education Trust Fund, as the significant
population growth in North Alabama will increase sales, income, and other tax collections.
Thus, it is an efficient use of state funds to allow such revenue growth to help pay for capital
improvement costs associated with BRAC-related school construction. (b) The Alabama Public
School and College Authority is hereby authorized to sell and issue its...
