Abstract
(HB6302 · 103rd Legislature) Education: school districts; requirement to display an American flag in classrooms; provide for. Amends sec. 1347 of 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1347). Sponsor: Rep. Matthew Maddock ® + 3 co-sponsors In committee: H Education And Workforce Latest action (2026-09-01): Bill Electronically Reproduced 08/27/2026
Why this matters
Classroom flag display mandates are low-cost but symbolically charged curriculum/environment rules that districts must operationalize if enacted. For Michigan schools, an amendment to the Revised School Code would convert flag display from a local choice into a statutory obligation, however modest the enforcement footprint.
