| CoSponsors: | Sens. Blevins, Bunting, Bushweller, Ennis, Katz, Sorenson, Venables, Bonini, Hall-Long; Reps. B. Short, Q. Johnson, Bennett, Hudson, Kowalko, Miro, Mitchell |

| Long Title: | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 14 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO PUBLIC EDUCATION. |
| Synopsis: | This Act implements the recommendations of the Senate’s Teacher Hiring Task Force. It will result in the creation of an estimated unit count each March, which the Department of Education will conduct using existing resources. The state will guarantee that school districts receive unit funds for the following school year equivalent to 98% of the estimated unit count. This will allow districts to make offers of employment to new teachers in the late spring and early summer. The Act also requires greater transparency by school districts with respect to their hiring practices. The Act must be reauthorized prior to April 1, 2012, so the state has an opportunity to ensure that the estimated unit count is reliable.
