AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 11 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO POSSESSION OF A FIREARM OR PROJECTILE WEAPON IN A SAFE SCHOOL ZONE.

Summary

The Safe Schools Sentry Act amends Delaware's Safe School Zone law to let private schools employ or contract armed security personnel, called sentries, who meet specific training and notification requirements. It clarifies who is exempt from the prohibition on firearms in school zones and adds penalties for violations, including felony charges and student expulsions. The change aims to give schools that cannot afford police officers a lawful way to enhance campus security.
