When members of the Mansfield School Board met on Monday night, May 20, they commented on the omission of prayer from the graduation ceremony held the Friday night before.

Following last year’s graduation, the group Freedom From Religion threated a lawsuit against the school if they did not drop the practice.
Board members and administrators discussed student lead prayer and resuming baccalaureate services.
