At a time when charter schools are garnering national attention, nine such schools, including three focusing on math and science, are seeking state approval to open in fall 2011. The nine, all proposed for New Castle County or northern Kent County, would join 18 charter schools established throughout Delaware and three planning to open this fall.
Charter schools are intended to give families more options in public education, and the proposals coming forward this year are catered to target populations.
