Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Equal sports access for Delaware students

Delaware public schools serving grades 6–12 cannot exclude people from sports, deny benefits, or treat them differently because of sex. This covers sports between schools, club sports, and intramural sports within a school. The state Title IX Coordinator can give non-legal guidance and ask schools to make plans to address compliance concerns. People keep their right to file school grievances or complaints with the U.S. Office for Civil Rights within federal deadlines.

State oversight of Delaware school sports

The law creates a Department of Education Title IX Coordinator to oversee sports between public schools serving grades 6–12. The Coordinator gives annual training to district and charter school coordinators, administrators, athletic directors, and coaches. Duties also include non-legal help for member schools of the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association, model policies, data analysis, and sharing federal guidance. By September 30 each year, districts and charter schools must post and report each school's prior-year athletics data. This includes participation by sex in interscholastic and intramural sports, boys' and girls' budgets and spending, and other required information. Spending data covers equipment, facilities, travel, and coaching. By December 1, the Coordinator must report activities, findings, and recommendations to state officials and lawmakers and post the report online. The Department must develop implementation and enforcement rules with the athletic association and request annual funding for the position and data-system upgrades. Those upgrades support tracking athletics budgets and spending by sex; the law sets no funding amount.
