In January 2018, Delawareans for Educational Opportunity and the NAACP Delaware State Conference of Branches, filed suit in the Court of Chancery challenging Delaware’s system of funding public education.
The suit contends that inequities in the funding system impair the opportunity of disadvantaged students to receive an adequate education. The plaintiffs also argue that the current system for levying property taxes at the county level contributes to the problem because it violates long-established standards set by the Delaware General Assembly.
In a two-part series, Delaware Public Media contributor Larry Nagengast examines the key issues in the case. This week: assessments and property taxes.
