Relating to the display of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms.

Contracts

• Procurement: Vendor agreements for signage must strictly adhere to the statutory text and minimum size (16" x 20"). Generic "Ten Commandments" posters from retail sources may not meet the specific textual requirements of Section 1(c).
• Donation Agreements: Create a standard acceptance form for donors that verifies the donated item meets durability and text standards; this protects the district from having to display non-compliant materials.

Hiring/Training

• Facilities Management: Maintenance staff must be instructed on the "conspicuous place" requirement. Displays cannot be obscured by doors, furniture, or other instructional materials.
• Administrative Training: Campus administrators must be trained on the "Donation First" hierarchy—schools must accept compliant donations but are not statutorily required to expend public funds if donations are insufficient.

Reporting & Record-Keeping

• Inventory Logs: Maintain a specific inventory of compliant posters versus total classroom counts.
• Audit Trails: Document the source of each display (donated vs. purchased) to substantiate compliance with the funding hierarchy in the event of a fiscal audit.

Fees & Costs

• Acquisition Costs: Contingent. Costs are zero if sufficient donations are received. If not, districts *may* (but are not required to) use public funds to purchase remaining units.
• Litigation Costs: None. The Office of the Attorney General assumes all costs for defense, judgments, and settlements.
