148th GENERAL ASSEMBLY

HOUSE BILL NO. 34

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 14 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE:

Section 1. Amend § 122, Chapter 1, Title 14 of the Delaware Code by making deletions as shown by strike through and insertions as shown by underline as follows:

(h) Notwithstanding any law or other provision to the contrary, no new or amended rule, regulation, or administrative procedure adopted by the Department shall become effective for a local school district during the current school year after the start of that school year, unless the local school board for that district specifically approves such rule, regulation, or administrative procedure to be effective during that school year.

SYNOPSIS

This bill will allow a local school district board to delay new or changed rules, regulations, or administrative procedures from becoming effective during a school year once the school year has started. This will allow the rules, regulations, and procedures to be consistent for the whole school year.
