Who We Are
Citizens for Delaware Schools is a grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to raising public awareness about the failing state of Delaware’s K-12 education system and policy solutions to achieve better outcomes . We firmly believe that a quality education has the power to level the playing field in society when implemented effectively. It starts with parents getting involved.
Delaware education is in crisis: tops in education spending and bottom in student outcomes. Let’s work together to ensure that every child in Delaware has access to a high-quality education that sets them up for success in the future.
