Last Monday, the Delaware State Board of Education had a workshop to discuss the Wilmington Education Improvement Plan. Even though some of the higher-up members of the Commission were actually there, the State Board refused to directly ask any of them questions. There was no public comment at this public meeting. Instead they crafted a very long letter to WEIC. Below are the questions, some of which I view to be valid, but others are clearly written into the plan. As well, their responses are below. The State Board of Education will vote on the redistricting plan on Thursday, January 21st. The meeting starts at 9am, which is earlier than usual due to Governor Markell’s State of the State Address. No public comment can be given at their meeting due to it being an action item based on their rules.
