Show Notes
Delawares Education Secretary Cindy Marten is set to decide on Thursday whether to close the Bryan Allen Stevenson School of Excellence (BASSE) due to low enrollment. The charter school, which opened in 2024 with 230 students, now has only 123. Supporters argue that charter schools independent yet publicly funded status pushes them to improve or close, while parents worry about disrupting their childrens learning and confidence. If closed, BASSE would be the first regulator-led charter closure in a decade, leaving Sussex County with only two such schools. The decision could set a precedent for balancing charter risks with family needs in Delaware.
