2024 School Board Voters Guide – Citizens For Delaware Schools

School Boards Matter

School Board Elections

While school board roles may be challenging, they wield immense power to help kids get a better education, enabling teachers to deliver instruction in a safe, orderly classroom, and encouraging parents to stay involved.

The successful candidate must have these qualities to be successful:

Share community values and makes decisions based on them
Strong community and/or school involvement
Courage
A vision with specific policy solutions to address the shortcomings of Delaware education

Citizens for Delaware Schools has identified four issues it believes must be given top priority.

Greater focus on improving student academic proficiency in English, math, and history/civics (founding principles)
Ensure schools embrace policies to create safe, positive learning environments for students and teachers
Stronger engagement and involvement of parents with their children and schools in their education.
A consistent approach to fiscal transparency to enable greater flexible education funding that follows the student.
