Dec. 4 forum in Georgetown, Delaware, the second part of “Funding of Public Education”, hosted by the League of Women Voters of Sussex County and the American Association of University Women AAUW.

In a panel discussion, legal and educational experts identified shortcomings of Delaware’s school funding approach, which has been blamed for chronic underfunding of supports and programs for children with disabilities, English Language Learners and children from low income households. The speakers said one of the major problems is the reliance on property value assessments that have not taken place for more than 30 years.
