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 Bible Content Lead. These licensed educators are strongly credentialed, and one-third of the county's teachers hold an advanced degree in a Bible-related discipline. All teachers are required to complete a Compliance Course to review the law as it pertains to the legalities of instruction of the Bible courses.
PICTURED BELOW - BIBLE TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND COMPLIANCE TRAINING - AUGUST, 2022
THANKS TO GRANTS FROM GENEROUS DONORS, THE PUBLIC SCHOOL BIBLE TEACHERS WERE SPONSORED TO GO ON EDUCATIONAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRIPS TO WASHINGTON, D.C., (2021) AND PHILADELPHIA (2022)

"I wish Bible was offered in all public school in the USA. My children took it in middle school and it turned out awesome. I think our youth in this country would be better off if they took Bible."
