Project Baltimore - You Can Not Buy Proficiency...
"As for education, the reality in Delaware is disheartening. In over 20 schools, only one in ten students is proficient in math or English. In the 2022 national education test, Delaware ranked as the second worst-performing State in 4th-grade reading. Our education outcomes are the worst they have been in 20 years according to the national test."
Faith, Family, Positive Influences/Role Models, and Determination are just some of the ingredients used to create successful, entrepreneurial, self-sufficient individuals.
Below are examples of such successful and influential Americans who, against the “hand that they were dealt”, are exemplary examples of the American Dream. These individuals & their stories deserve to be hoisted upon a pedestal. Their stories of ambition, perseverance, & integrity told as an inspiration to other children who are told that they can not succeed due to the “inequities” that block their path.
This is pure political projection by those very same people who’s claim of “inequities” become the very obstacle they must overcome.

Delaware Report Card
What is the Report Card?
Delaware aims to enable parents and stakeholders to engage meaningfully in public education decisions, which is only possible when they have access to clear, robust, timely and continuous information about how their students and schools are doing throughout the state. Check out the Snapshot link below to see highlights of education in Delaware. ESSER Funds
Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund
aka - Covid Funds
If there is one thing I can give Delaware’s Department of Education credit for, it is that they are fairly transparent. This link1 will take you to the ESSER funding page where you can view each district’s proposed spending plan as well as the ESSER Financial Transparency Report.
ESSER Funds
Based on Brandywine School District's initial plan to spend the 36 MILLION received in ESSR funds, we have as follows:
*$2.9 million for "Air Quality"
*$1.4 million for "Safe and Healthy Schools"
*$15 thousand for "Disinfecting Training"
*$564 thousand for "Disinfecting & Cleaning Supplies"
There is no logical reason to shut down schools!
