Student Equity and Excellence 2035 Launch Event

Celebrate the Launch of Delaware's Next 10-Year Plan for Public Education

Help shape the future of education in the First State

The Vision Coalition of Delaware will launch a new 10-year plan for Delaware education on March 24 in Dover at the Del-One Conference Center at Delaware Technical Community College. Student Equity and Excellence 2035 is a policy roadmap informed by over 1,000 community members—from students and parents to educators, experts, state leaders, and more.

The coalition’s leadership team, a mix of public and private leaders that includes Sec. of Education Cindy Marten, will unveil the new plan at the gathering. The event will also showcase local students through performances, catering, and a panel discussion.

The plan contains a set of policy recommendations spread across six key issue areas—early care and education, student-centered learning, student supports, postsecondary success, educators, and student-centered funding. Which areas do you want to learn more about? Where are the opportunities to take action? Join the conversation and let Delawareans know.

The coalition’s previous 10-year plan, Student Success 2025, was launched in 2015. Its predecessor, Vision 2015, was released in 2005. To date, more than 70 percent of the policy recommendations from those plans have been advanced in Delaware.

Student Equity and Excellence 2035 is the culimation of years of public engagement, research, conversations, and debate. The process began in fall 2023 with a public survey, student focus groups, and virtual and in-person town hall events throughout the state. More than 180 local and national subject-matter experts provided input through working groups, a steering committee, and other engagements.
