Summary

This Act provides guidelines for Delaware schools in addressing elopement of students with IEPs and 504 Plans. This Act requires schools to notify the eloping student’s parent or guardian the same day as the elopement incident and requires that, once a year, the student’s IEP or 504 team review and address a student’s elopement behavior to determine if the IEP or 504 Plan should be adjusted.
