Doesn’t Delaware Deserve a more efficient bureaucracy with fewer school districts (19) and more dollars in the classroom?

Take a look at this site to see what many “staff” members draw.

Can’t there be less admin positions and more money spent on frontline teachers and classrooms?

    Realignning the districts make sense. The City of New York has one districts with more than the entire state of Delaware.

    Reducing redundant administrative costs, and streamlining the education process is essential. Delaware may need to look outside the state to see how others do it.

    Use the savings from the adminisrative costs for vouchers and scholarships, and capital improvements.
