[State] Delaware [Score] 0 [Charter Law Description] 
Delaware law provides that charter schools are funded through the same funding formula used for districts, with some exceptions. Delaware law provides funding for charter school transportation at 75% of the average cost per student for transporting students within the vocational district in which the charter school is located. In a national study of charter school funding (University of Arkansas, Charter School Funding: Inequity Expands, 2014), Delaware charter schools were receiving on average $8,776 per pupil, while traditional public schools would have received $13,363 for those students. As a result, the state’s charter schools were receiving $4,587 per pupil—or 34.3 percent—less than what the traditional public schools would have received for those students. This figure includes all sources of funding, and analysis reveals continued inequities for operational, categorical, and capital funding (see Component #19 for information on capital issues).
