Bill > HB64

This bill amends Title 14 of the Delaware Code to require all school board meetings to provide a remote attendance and public comment method, effectively ensuring that members of the public can participate in school board meetings virtually. Specifically, the bill adds new language to two sections of the Delaware Code (§ 504B and § 1048) mandating that school boards must offer a technological means for people to both attend meetings and provide public comments without being physically present. This change aims to increase transparency and accessibility of school board proceedings by allowing community members who may not be able to attend in person to still engage with and observe their local school board's decision-making processes. The new requirement will take effect on September 2, 2025, giving school districts time to implement the necessary technological infrastructure to support remote participation.
