DE SB328

Directs the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association (DIAA) Board of Directors to separate public and private schools for team championship sanctioned events.

Notes that private schools won 25 of 34 state team titles during the 2023/2024 school year and 73 of 102 team championships over the past three years.

Cites that private schools hold a regulatory advantage through ability to recruit athletes across district, county, and state lines compared to public schools.

States that the Blue Hen Conference (primarily northern New Castle County public schools) has won only 3 of 102 team titles in the past three years due to the competitive imbalance.

References that the majority of states already separate private and public schools in sanctioned athletic association team championships.
