2025 School Board VoteDelaware Questionnaire Responses

During the 2025 school board election season, the ACLU of Delaware's voter information hub, VoteDelaware.org, featured candidate questionnaires to help voters learn more about where local and state candidates landed key issues like budget equity, health and safety, inclusion, and restorative discipline. 

As newly elected school board members begin their terms, their responses will remain accessible right here. We must continue to hold our school board members accountable for campaign promises to protect Delaware's students, and make sure they remain committed to the values they pledged to fight for.
