Summary
As a public school safety measure, this bill requires that any door to a classroom will be equipped with a lock that can be locked from either side of the door. Many doors are currently not capable of locking from the inside. Locking the door(s) to a classroom from inside the classroom would enable precluding a school intruder from entering that classroom.
Title
An Act To Amend Title 14 Of The Delaware Code Relating To School Property And Health And Safety Requirements.
