House Bill 1501 amends the Education Code to require each public elementary and secondary school, each year in which September 11 falls on a regular school day, to provide for the observance of one minute of silence at the beginning of the first class period of that day in commemoration of the events of September 11, 2001, which observance may be held in conjunction with the minute of silence required following the recitation of the pledges of allegiance to the U.S. and Texas flags. The bill requires a class instructor, immediately before the period of observance, to make a statement of reference to the memory of individuals who died on September 11, 2001.
