Every Delawarean lives within 7 miles of a public library with access to books, literacy, learning opportunities, and resources. Students thrive when families/communities have the tools to support learning every day. Library cards: http://delawarelibraries.org/librarycard, http://de.gov/edplan

This is the goal starting salary for Delaware teachers by 2027 to compete with neighboring states and recruit/retain great educators. This year’s state budget includes year 3 of the PECC committee's recommended increases toward that goal. Find positions: http://joindelawareschools.org

265 eligible courses were reimbursed through Delaware's Critical Needs Reimbursement Program in the 2025-26 school year. This is just one way the state is building and supporting the educator workforce our students deserve.
