Abstract	This article presents the state education finance and governance of Delaware. Funding for public education generally comes from three sources: the federal government (7.6%), the state government (64.3%), and local governments (28.1%). Educational expenditures for K-12 public schools in Delaware total $1.66 billion. Per-pupil expenditure in the state equals $11,061, which is above the national average by about 25%. Delaware's basic education governance structure includes a chief state school officer, a state board of education, and 16 local school boards. The chief state school officer is appointed by the governor for an unlimited term. One challenge facing the state is the low levels of college readiness, college completion, and employment readiness for both White and minority high school graduates. (Contains 1 table.) (ERIC).
