What happened
Cindy Marten has introduced a draft proposal aimed at improving low-performing schools in Delaware. The plan outlines a five-tiered support system, allowing education officials to take over a school as a last resort if it is struggling. The state is simultaneously working to revamp its current school funding formula to boost student performance, with statewide goals set for 2028.

Why it matters
The proposal is drawing scrutiny from civil rights groups and state lawmakers. The plan targets specific proficiency increases, such as raising eighth grade math proficiency from 26% to 35% and decreasing chronic absenteeism from 15% to 13%. Critics question the rollout of accountability measures before adequate resources are in place.
