Panel passes clean-up bill to clarify personnel-record retention for charter schools
Loading...
Summary
Senate Bill 223, described as a statutory cleanup to ensure charter schools are included in personnel-record retention rules consistent with public-archives requirements, was presented and approved by the committee with minimal discussion.
Senate Bill 223, sponsored by Senator Sturgeon, was presented to the House Education Committee as a technical cleanup to ensure Title 14 clearly includes charter schools in personnel-record retention requirements consistent with Delaware public-archives rules. The sponsor's explanation described the bill as intended to close an inconsistency identified during code review; the committee had no substantive questions.
Kendall Masset of the Delaware Charter Schools Network testified in support, saying charter schools already adhere to the same personnel-record practices as traditional districts and that the bill simply aligns the statute with existing practice.
The committee voted to approve the bill; the clerk announced the motion carried and Chair Williams asked supporters to sign the Senate bill backer.
