Based on a recommendation by the House School Discipline Task Force, legislation that would raise the minimum age for mandatory reporting of misdemeanors passed the House on Tuesday, April 27, 2010.

The School Discipline Task Force was created in May 2009 and was charged with reviewing a more than 15-year-old disciplinary system that mandated reporting of all in-school incidents and set uniform punishments for infractions, then issuing recommendations to more fairly dispense justice without negatively impacting the school environment. The task force members included representatives from the Departments of Justice; Education; Health and Social Services; and Children, Youth and their Families, along with members of the Delaware State Police, Family Court and school districts in all three counties.

The task force’s recommendations included increasing the minimum reporting age, establishing a three-step process for addressing minor school offenses instead of requiring arrest and reviewing alternative placement and in-school suspension programs.

A group of Dover legislators have introduced a bill in the House of Representatives that would allow Kent County Levy Court to eliminate two elected row offices for a savings of approximately $200,000 per year, according to county officials.

Just one month ago, it seemed like two of the county’s senior state senators would work to block the proposal, but three freshman Democratic legislators, Sen. Brian Bushweller and Reps. Darryl Scott and E. Bradford Bennett, decided the time was right for the county to consider phasing out its comptroller and receiver of taxes positions and handing over their duties to the Department of Finance.
