Released time courses; authorize for public school students to attend off campus religious or moral instruction for credit.

SB 2101 requires Mississippi public school districts to create policies allowing students to be excused from school for up to three class periods weekly (max 125 annually) to attend off-campus religious or moral instruction courses. It mandates parental consent, prohibits school funding or resources for the instruction, and requires schools to award elective credit based on secular criteria like course syllabi and instructor qualifications - not religious content. The bill explicitly excludes charter and virtual schools from its requirements and protects school districts from liability for student participation outside school supervision. This policy directly affects public school students seeking credit for off-campus moral or religious education under strict administrative guidelines.
