Vision 2015

IMAGINE: the best schools in the world for every student in Delaware.

Did You Know?
While 40 percent of Delaware’s white 8th graders meet national standards in reading and math, only 13 percent of our African American students do so.

More facts about our schools.

Steering Committee

A broad-based, 28-person Steering Committee led the development of Vision 2015. Their work was informed substantially by expert counsel from nearly 80 Work Group members, representing education, community organizations, and businesses. Over the course of the 11-month process, nearly 500 citizens in all three Delaware counties participated in community meetings, focus groups, and special interest forums.

Current efforts are directed by the Vision 2015 Implementation Team, a subgroup of the Steering Committee. Vision 2015 is chaired by Marvin N. "Skip" Schoenhals, the Chairman, President, and CEO of WSFS Bank.
