Delaware lawmakers have unanimously approved a bill changing the state's charter school law to allow single gender charter schools. Several legislators sponsored the legislation in response to a December decision by the Delaware Department of Education to withhold federal funding from Prestige Academy, a charter school seeking to open this fall to serve at-risk middle school boys. The bill includes an amendment to ensure that a second approved same-gender charter school would be available for girls. The Department of Education would work with the education community to help recruit interested parties to start such a school. The bill, which goes next to the Senate, must pass before the General Assembly breaks this week for the school to open on time.
