Summary
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.
