More than 50 people attended a Thursday evening information session the Bulloch County Board of Education set up to address the ongoing topic of religious expression in public schools. Like the Dec. 5 meeting, which was attended by a much larger crowd of more than 250 people, the Thursday session was held in the larger cafeteria of the William James Educational Complex rather than the smaller boardroom. Unlike the Dec. 5 meeting, in which 20 people spoke during the public-comment portion, with 18 of them saying the school system is too restrictive of employees’ rights to express their religious faith, the Thursday meeting offered no such forum.
