A jury trial had been scheduled to open Sept. 8 in Kent County Superior Court.
On April 30, Mr. Howell, 51, of Wyoming, pleaded not guilty to 43 counts of first-degree sexual abuse of a child by a person in a position of trust, authority or supervision, and seven counts of sexual solicitation of a child.
Mr. Howell is represented by lawyer Alexander Funk; Deputy Attorney General Kathy Dickerson is prosecuting the case for the state.
Mr. Howell was indicted by a Kent County Grand Jury in early April. He resigned from the Caesar Rodney School District three days later.
