This Act updates how academic eligibility for driver education certification is calculated because many high schools have moved from the traditional 7-period school day to various forms of block scheduling. Under this Act, the Department of Education must establish, through regulations, how equivalent credit is calculated for courses taught on a block schedule or when the full length of a course is less than 1 year. This Act also adds world language to the academic courses from which a student may satisfy the credit requirement.
This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
