The Delaware charter law (Del. C., Title 14, Chapter 5, 506 subsection c) was amended in July 2005. As a
result of the amendment to the law, each charter school is required to obtain a written confirmation,
signed by a party or guardian of each student that in that student’s initial year of attendance at the charter
school that the student will include a statement reading, “I understand that my child is required to remain in
this school year” and shall be kept on file at the school and made available for inspection to Department of Education officials or representatives from the public school district in which the student resides. After a
student’s initial year of enrollment, it shall be presumed for school district planning purposes only that the
student will continue to attend the charter school until completion of that school’s highest grade level and
no further written confirmation need be obtained by the charter school.
