DE SB300

Amends § 1008 of Title 14 to clarify that State Board and General Assembly approval of transition and resource plans for school district reorganization does not constitute endorsement of any specific revenue or spending measures.

Modifies § 1026 to allow the State Board of Education to change school district boundaries in New Castle County consistent with Wilmington Education Advisory Committee recommendations, provided the General Assembly passes and the Governor signs a Joint Resolution supporting the changes.

Requires the State Board to conduct at least one public hearing in each affected school district, including at least two in Wilmington, before implementing boundary changes.

Mandates development of a transition, resource, and implementation plan addressing student reassignment, personnel implications, transportation, capital asset distribution, and community engagement.

Appropriates $200,000 to establish the Wilmington Redistricting Transition Fund and specifies that any additional state funding, capital improvements, or property tax rate changes require subsequent General Assembly action or referendum approval.
