HS1 for House Bill #287 unanimously passed in the Delaware Senate today after some rough waters when it was on the House side. Thank you to all the Delaware Senators and House Reps who passed this bill and recognized it’s importance. A huge thank you to State Rep. Kim Williams and Senator Nicole Poore for getting this out to begin with. And then thank you to the Special Education Strategic Plan Committee for making this a huge priority to begin with.
This is a landmark bill for students with the most severe disabilities in our schools. Provided Governor Carney signs it, we will no longer have these students get a certificate but an actual diploma. It was an archaic and outdated thing in our public education system. Students with disabilities are just as important as their peers and the bulk of our General Assembly gets it. And it looks like the Delaware business community began to recognize why this is important as well.
