What would the new funding proposal change?
✔️ More flexible dollars tied to student needs
✔️ Greater district discretion
✔️ Continued salary & staffing protections
This phase focuses on state funding. Local funding & equalization are still under review. https://t.co/FGK5SQKDVW
Mental health support is closely tied to funding. One Delaware student said, "School can be mentally exhausting. Without enough support, those challenges become harder to manage." https://t.co/OsW1SWv3pC
Delaware’s proposed hybrid school funding model keeps the unit count system but adds student-based funding for more flexibility.
• Unit positions reduced from 32 → 18
• Student-centered funding grows from ~5% → ~30%
• Educator salaries protected

Students experience a gap between proposed solutions and school realities. One Delaware student says, "Students see what’s happening every day, but that perspective doesn’t always shape decisions." https://t.co/OsW1SWv3pC

Legislation could be introduced as early as April. Commissioners will refine the model, review public feedback, and continue community engagement.
