DELAWARE — A bill introduced in the state legislature would require school board candidates and current members to both live and spend the majority of their time within the district they serve. House Bill 82 states that any board member absent from their district for more than three-quarters of the year during their term would lose their qualification to hold the position. Time spent away for military duties would not count toward this total. If someone believes a board member no longer meets these residency requirements, they could petition the Superior Court to vacate the seat. The measure is now under consideration in the Delaware General Assembly.
