This Act requires the Department of Education to pilot a revised student improvement component under the Delaware Performance Appraisal System and Delaware Teacher Growth and Support System beginning in the 2025-2026 school year. The pilot must include at least 3 local education agencies and consider factors such as student absences, mobility, and noncompliance that may adversely affect a student’s performance. Participants will be held harmless during the pilot program. The program will expand in 2026-2027 and be implemented statewide in 2027-2028 for all licensed and certified educators.
