Education/Absence with Pay/Jury Duty/Subpoena

What it does

The legislature's own summary of the bill, or its official long title.

This Act provides teachers and other school employees with the same protection to be absent without a loss of pay as State merit employees for all of the following reasons: (1) To appear under subpoena to testify in a matter, other than a matter in which they are a party or which arises from other employment or activities of the employee. (2) To report to serve on a jury. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
