for the academic year 2022-2023, BIBLE IN THE SCHOOLS WILL FUND 32 BIBLE TEACHERS IN 32 PARTICIPATING HAMILTON COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS

For the 2022-2023 academic year, community gifts through Bible in the Schools will fully fund 32 Bible teachers, including the Hamilton County Schools District Content Lead, Ms. Patricia Cone. These licensed educators are strongly credentialed, and one-third of the county's teachers hold an advanced degree in a Bible-related discipline. Prior to the start of the school year, all teachers were required to complete a Compliance Course to review the law as it pertains to the legalities of instruction of the Bible courses.
