Summary

The bill revises Title 14 of the Delaware Code, allowing local school boards to impose taxes needed for state‑mandated district contributions without a voter referendum, except for major capital projects. It also authorizes New Castle County districts to set separate residential and non‑residential tax rates within set limits and creates a capitation tax on adults that must be approved by voters. These changes affect all public school districts, especially those in New Castle County and the City of Wilmington.
