Bill > SCR91

This joint resolution directs the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association (DIAA), an organization that governs high school sports, to conduct a comprehensive analysis of state team championship outcomes over the past five years, specifically examining the significant disparities between public, private, and charter schools in winning these titles. The resolution highlights the substantial imbalance in athletic achievements, noting that in the 2023-2024 school year, private schools won 25 of 34 state team titles, and over the past three years, private schools secured 73 out of 102 team championships. The DIAA is required to use its Public-Private Committee's findings, along with national best practices, to develop potential proposals addressing these competitive inequities. By April 30, 2026, the DIAA must submit a detailed report to key state legislative and executive officials, which will include a list of proposed recommendations, a summary of the board's deliberations, and the rationale behind any suggested changes. This resolution aims to promote fairness and competitive balance in Delaware's high school athletics.
