Invite Your Legislator or Local Community Members to Visit Your School

Here is how you can send a personal note and request to your legislators:

FIND your legislators emails here:

State: Find My Legislator - Delaware General Assembly

Federal:  Contact Delaware Senators (contactsenators.com)

Contact | U.S. Representative Lisa Blunt Rochester (house.gov)

Subject: Please Come Visit MySchool – Support Our Charter Schools

1 – Give them Your Name, School Name, WHO you are to the school (Parent, Teacher, Board Member, Student)

2 – Ask them to come and visit your school to see for themselves how awesome it is! Have a specific event? Add the details and any links or email addresses for them to RSVP to. Don’t have a specific event? Offer a few dates and times where you can be there with them.

3 – Make sure to tell them WHY you chose a charter school (flexibility, mission – military / Montessori / arts /math & science, longer school day/ year, personalized approach, etc.)

Discuss your charter school experiences with friends and neighbors.

The larger community needs to know that:

  • Charter Schools are FREE Public Schools.
  • Charter Schools on average receive approximately $2500 less in State Revenue per pupil (based on 21-22 revenues). 
  • Charter Schools are held to a higher standard of accountability than district schools. 
  • Delaware provides a multitude of choices in education. But many parents are not aware of all of their options.

It's important to dispel the myths surrounding charter schools and communicate the benefits they offer.

Inform your legislators about your views on charter schools and the importance of educational choice. Your voice is important to them.
