A Closer Look at Delaware Education: Unlike many states, leadership of Delaware’s educational system is centralized in a state Superintendent of Education, with local school boards retaining control over taxation and some curriculum decisions.

Did You Know? Delaware was the origin of Belton v. Gebhart, one of the four cases combined into Brown v. Board of Education, the seminal U.S. Supreme Court decision that culminated in the end of segregation in public schools. Significantly, Belton was the only case in which the state court found for the plaintiffs, thereby ruling that segregation was unconstitutional.
