In the final month of the 148th General Assembly before they take their six month recess, three new education bills are on the plate. These ones deal with school librarians, a clarification on a pending charter school audit bill, and new rules for voter eligibility in school board elections.
State Rep. Paul Baumbach wants to make sure no school librarians lose their jobs. I fully support this bill, but we also need them for art, music and other classes that all children used to enjoy but are on the cutting floor in many of our schools.
More from Kim Williams with Delaware charter school audits. This is good, but we are still waiting on results from at least three charters and their audits in the state auditor’s office.
I’m not sure how I feel about this bill. I’m going to have to digest this one.
