The following is a list of ALL the current Delaware Department of Education contracts, when they began and when the contract ends. I have also included if it is a Delaware company, if the contract can be extended, and anything odd about it. A few of these are just random contracts, but some contain some very interesting information. Our state DOE is paying tons of money to outside vendors that are simply data coaches. With Race to the Top kaput, how much money can the state keep handing out to these organizations? Some of these companies are very new, as in created in the last five years.
