A wooden plaque with the national motto "In God We Trust" hangs in the Elkhorn Middle School cafeteria. Kentucky passed a later earlier this year that says the motto must be displayed prominently in public schools. (Photo by McKenna Horsley)

In compliance with a recently passed state law, Frankfort and Franklin County school districts are taking different approaches to displaying signs with the United States motto, “In God We Trust.” 

The law, which is KRS 158.195 and was House Bill 46, requires Kentucky school boards to require all public middle and secondary schools to display the national motto “in a prominent location,” such as an entryway, cafeteria or common area, so students can see the motto.
