The American Civil Liberties Union of Delaware has filed a lawsuit against the state asserting that Delaware’s education system fails the vast majority of students.
The ACLU sued on behalf of the Delaware NAACP and Delawareans for Educational Opportunity, a nonprofit whose membership includes the parents of low-income students, English language learners, and children with disabilities.
“The case is about ensuring that every student in the state of Delaware has access to high-quality educational opportunities,” said Kathleen MacRae, executive director of ACLU-DE.
According to the lawsuit, unlike other states, the way Delaware funds schools results in more money going to schools with wealthier local populations than to schools with needier student bodies.
