About us
CERT Christian Education Release Time is a voluntary program in Emmett, Idaho, that allows public school students to attend private, off-campus religious instruction during school hours. A parent or guardian must provide written permission for the student to attend, and the instruction takes place at a separate location, like the Christian Education Release Time Ministry in Emmett. These programs are designed to respect parental rights to direct their children’s religious education without public school entanglement with religion.
