Introduction The preparation of the preliminary District budget begins in January, after the release of the Governor’s proposed State operating budget. Over the winter and spring, the General Assembly’s Joint Finance Committee and Joint Capital Improvement Committees hold hearings and modify the Governor’s recommended operating and capital budgets. The budgets are approved by the General Assembly prior to the governor’s approval. The state budget has a significant direct impact on school funding. This year, the state provided ongoing support for recently created programs designed to provide additional support for schools with high concentrations of poverty and or English language learners. In addition, the state also is providing support for basic special education students in grades kindergarten through 3rd grade. These programs, in some circumstances provide the opportunity for School Boards to provide supplemental funding through a match tax. The District and the State are also working on a Wilmington Schools Initiative that is providing supplemental operating and capital funds. This opportunity, as well as the proposed budget, aligns with the beliefs of the Christina School District Board of Education.

  • Status of Public Education for City of Wilmington Students 2016–17 School Year Data Report
    Wilmington Education Improvement Commission Status of Public Education for City of Wilmington Students 2016–17 School Year Data Report April 2018 Prepared by the Institute for Public Administration School of Public Policy & Administration College of Arts & Sciences University of Delaware This page is left intentionally blank. i Introduction Prepared by the University of Delaware’s Institute for Public Administration for the Wilmington Education Improvement Commission, this report provides an updated analysis of enrollment, student proficiency, graduation rates, and dropout rates for P–12 students residing within the limits of the City of Wilmington. This includes students attending traditional, vocational-technical (vo-tech), and charter schools across the state during the 2016–17 school year. The report provides a snapshot of public education for students living in the City of Wilmington. The Wilmington Education Improvement Commission (the Commission) was created through legislation to advise the Governor and General Assembly on how to improve the quality and availability of education for children P–12 within the City of Wilmington; recommend actions to address the needs of all schools statewide that have high concentrations of students in poverty; English language learners (ELLs), and other students at risk; and carry out the action agenda developed by the Wilmington Education Advisory Committee as described in Strengthening Wilmington Education: An Action Agenda. Building on the Wilmington Education Advisory Committee’s recommendations, the Commission adopted a framework for change that streamlines three areas of critical importance for improving the education system and student outcomes: creating more responsive governance, funding student success, and meeting student needs. The agenda’s recommendations focused on City of Wilmington students but also addressed needs of the statewide education system.

  • Administrative Weekly Report
    Page 1 of 23 City Manager's Weekly Report Department: Administration - City Manager Notable Notes: City Manager: Monday night was a regular Council meeting. During the meeting, staff received approval to extend our Alfresco Dining series of Main Street through the first Wednesday in December. Staff began outreach to affected businesses following the meeting and will be working with them over the coming weeks to update their ABC permits and the DelDOT event permit. New Castle County announced a new outdoor dining grant program that provides up to $5,000 to be used to pay for equipment and supplies necessary for outdoor dining. Several of our Newark restaurants have already applied and we have begun outreach efforts to make the rest aware of the program if they were not already. Grant information including a link to the application can be found here: https://committeeof100.com/. Director Del Grande and I finished preparation of our CIP Budget presentation that will be given to the Planning Commission on Tuesday, October 20th at 7:00 as required by City Code. Director Del Grande and I spent time working on issues surrounding some of our larger utility accounts that were facing disconnection this week. We also spent time researching and contacting accounts with larger tax delinquencies. I am participating on the interview panel for The Newark Partnership's Executive Director position. We have decided to extend the posting again to allow more time for applications. In preparation for the interviews, I began preparing draft interview questions and scoring sheets for review by the interview panel ahead of the interviews.
