More Than Election Information

School boards serve their communities every day, not just during election season. The Delaware School Board Index was created to provide a balanced, transparent view of each district’s governance, helping citizens understand the ongoing work of their elected school boards, celebrate district successes, and stay informed about the priorities shaping public education.

Whether you’re exploring your local district, considering school board service, or simply looking to become a more informed community member, the Delaware School Board Index is designed to help you engage with confidence.
