In some schools prayers are spoken aloud. In some schools prayers are allowed, in others they are not. You need to understand the difference between aloud and allowed.
No. The US Supreme Court has found that organized prayer in schools is not permitted. You should have objected if you were offended. In the future, you should request that the board allow a moment of silence so that people can reflect or pray privately instead.
The actual prayer that was banned from public schools was a specific prayer known as the "Regents' Prayer" or the "Almighty God" prayer. This prayer was recited in some public schools in the United States before the ban. While there was no standard script that all teachers used, the Regents' Prayer was frequently used as it was a commonly accepted prayer in many schools.

Amber Supko In 1963 there started to be some people against the Lord's Prayer in public schools. Stew731 The U. S. Supreme Court issued two bans. One in 1962 and the second in 1963. Both bans were the result of lawsuits against the teaching of religion and religious practices in public schools. Basically stating that organized prayer in schools was a violation of the separation of church and state. It was decided that publicly funded schools were an extension of the state, and that organized prayer or Bible readings were a form of proselytizing. The bans not only banned mandatory prayer in schools but also banned the daily reading of bible passages. The lawsuits were supported by several organizations but the most outspoken supporter for banning prayer in schools came from Madalyn Murray O'Hair, the founder of American Atheists, Inc.

Organized prayer in public school violates the First Amendment Establishment Clause.
Yes children can pray, but there is no public prayer. Since there is no state religion whose prayer would you say? But if a child wants to pray before they eat lunch or just say a prayer to themselves they may.
