Summary
Official abstract published by the Delaware legislature· synopsis
This Act is a substitute for HB 379 which includes revisions to the school and district level component section of Chapter 16 to align the code with current State and National guidelines for education. This Act reduces the emphasis on discipline and focuses instead on guidelines to promote a positive learning environment that assists students at risk for or experiencing academic or behavior problems.
This Act repeals § 1605A of Title 14 as § 1605 of Title 14 now addresses its contents.
This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
