Prayer is allowed at school board meetings just as it’s allowed in school. As long as the prayers are private, not disruptive, and done before the formal meeting, no one’s going to stop Christians from talking to their God.
But Congressman Tim Walberg (R-MI) wants the government to show its support to Christian prayers that take place during school board meetings. He just proposed House Resolution 250 (PDF) and his argument is essentially that Congress has invocations, so school boards should get to have them, too:
Whereas the United States was founded on the principle of freedom of religion and not freedom from religion;
…
Whereas in 1983 the Supreme Court of the United States held in Marsh v. Chambers, 463 U.S. 783, that the practice of opening sessions of legislative bodies and other deliberative public bodies with prayer is so deeply embedded in the history and tradition of the United States that it has become part of the fabric of society, and invoking divine guidance on a public body entrusted with making the laws is not a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, but rather is simply a tolerable acknowledgment of beliefs widely held among the people of the Nation;
…Resolved, That the House of Representatives —
(1) recognizes that school boards are deliberative public bodies, and should be free to engage in prayer at the beginning of meetings;
(2) recognizes that school boards are deliberative public bodies, and should be free to engage in prayer at the beginning of meetings consistent with the prayer practice upheld in Marsh v. Chambers;
(3) recognizes that prayer before school board meetings is a protected act in accordance with the fundamental principles upon which the Nation was founded; and
(4) expresses support for the voluntary practice of prayer at the beginning of meetings of legislative bodies and other deliberative public bodies, including school board meetings.
The bill already has 43 co-sponsors.
The American Humanist Association believes this resolution would “encourage more school districts to pray at school board meetings and alienate nonreligious students, teachers, parents, and school administrators from their own communities” and is encouraging everyone to contact their representatives to express disapproval.
The bill wouldn’t change any existing laws but Congress has no business supporting faith over no faith or one religion over another. “Christianity” isn’t mentioned anywhere in the resolution but we all know Walberg isn’t talking about Islam when he encourages prayer.

The radical left has been attacking both public displays and private practice of Christianity with increasing fervor, but one court has finally pushed back.
A Texas appeals court has ruled that voluntary student-led prayers are not a violation of the First Amendment and can therefore be recited at school board meetings.
In 2015, the American Humanist Association (AHA) sued the Birdville School District because board members began their meetings with prayer, which they claimed was a violation of the First Amendment “through its practicing of promoting Christian prayers.”
Isaiah Smith, a graduate of Birdville High, claimed “the prayers made him feel unwelcome at the public meetings and that the school board endorsed Christianity.”
The court had a different opinion.
Via Reuters:
A federal appeals court said on Monday a Texas school board may open its meetings with student-led prayers without violating the U.S. Constitution.
In a 3-0 decision, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected an appeal by the American Humanist Association, which said the practice by the Birdville Independent School District violated the First Amendment’s prohibition of a government establishment of religion.
The appeals court also reversed a lower court judge’s denial of “qualified immunity” to school board members, and dismissed the case against them. Birdville serves Haltom City, Texas, a suburb of Dallas and Fort Worth.
The appeals court upheld a lower court ruling which tossed the lawsuit, citing a 2014 Supreme Court ruling allowing prayers at a town council meeting in Greece, New York.
In a written statement, the Birdville school district noted the decision was a “complete vindication.”
President Trump’s Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, may herself be an advocate for introducing prayer in school.
In 2000, a Wall Street Journal article described DeVos as an activist who spent time “crisscrossing Michigan in a huge Lincoln Navigator with a Bible in the seat pocket.” She would start and end some meetings with voucher supporters in prayer.
In 2001, she was recorded in an interview saying her work in education is akin to someone who wants to “advance God’s Kingdom.”
The bottom line is, most understand that offering a prayer before a meeting is no violation of the separation of church and state, nor is it a ‘coercion’ or endorsement of Christianity.
Circuit Judge Jerry Smith wrote the decision allowing prayer before school board meetings.
“Most attendees at school-board meetings, including Smith, are mature adults,” he wrote, and even board members’ “polite” requests that the audience stand during invocations “do not coerce prayer.”
