House Bill 44 ensures the continued operation of Delaware’s Migrant Education Program.
The program must provide the same services that were provided or were required to be provided under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act on January 19, 2025. If federal funding is insufficient to meet the needs of migratory education, the Delaware Department of Education must identify, transfer, or request the appropriation of supplemental funding from the State or other sources to ensure no interruption in services.
This bill is part of a larger slate of legislation is pending in the Delaware General Assembly now that would protect immigrants and ensure they have the support, security, and opportunity to thrive.
TAKE ACTION
Right now, Delaware’s General Assembly has a role to play. We need you to send a message to your state legislators urging them to say “YES” to passing legislation to ensure that our state remains a place where all people — regardless of immigration or citizenship status — can live without fear, contribute fully, and are guaranteed the civil rights and liberties
