     1  6    280.5  DISPLAY OF UNITED STATES FLAG AND IOWA STATE

     1  8    1.  The board of directors of each public school
     1  9 district and the authorities in charge of each
     1 10 nonpublic school shall provide and maintain a suitable
     1 11 flagstaff on each school site under its control, and
     1 12 the United States flag and the Iowa state flag shall
     1 13 be raised on all school days when weather conditions
     1 14 are suitable.
     1 15    2.  The board of directors of each public school
     1 16 and the authorities in charge of each nonpublic school
     1 17 shall cause the pledge of allegiance to be recited at
     1 18 the beginning of each school day.  Persons reciting
     1 19 the pledge of allegiance shall stand holding their
     1 20 right hand over their heart.  A student shall not be
     1 21 compelled, against the student's objections or those
     1 22 of the student's parent or guardian, to recite the
     1 23 pledge of allegiance, but shall be required to
     1 24 maintain a respectful silence.  A nonpublic school is
     1 25 exempt from this requirement if the authorities in
     1 26 charge of a nonpublic school determine that this
     1 27 requirement conflicts with the school's religious
     1 28 doctrines.>
     1 29 #2.  By renumbering as necessary.
