Idaho Code § 33-1639: moment of silence in public schools.

(1) At or near the beginning of each school day, in all grades and in all Idaho public schools, teachers or school employees in charge of classrooms shall provide for a brief period of silence for a minimum of sixty (60) seconds with the participation of every pupil in the classroom. During such period, a student may, without interfering with or distracting another student, reflect, meditate, pray, or engage in another silent activity. During the period of silence, no other activities shall take place.

(2) Teachers or school employees shall require all pupils to remain silent and to make no distracting display so that each pupil may, in the exercise of the pupil’s individual choice, reflect, meditate, pray, or engage in any other silent activity that does not interfere with, distract from, or impede other pupils’ exercise of individual choice.

(3) Public school personnel are prohibited from providing instruction to any student regarding the nature of any reflection that a student may engage in during the period of silence, other than as provided in this section. A public school shall provide notification to parents and legal guardians including information on the period of silence provided in this section and shall encourage parents and legal guardians to provide guidance to pupils regarding such period.
