When the Delaware legislature convenes in January, members will debate whether the state should help finance and fund real estate purchases or construction by public charter schools. Some lawmakers think the state’s charter law should be amended to clarify that charter schools are eligible to use low-interest state bonding. Others believe that the current law - which provides an equal amount of per-student state aid for charter operations, but mandates that no state money can support charter's capital needs – should be kept in place. Rep. Nancy Wagner said any decision should be made after a broader look at overall school funding. "The charters, like the Charter School of Wilmington and Delaware Military Academy, are doing a good job -- there's no question about that," she said. "But helping them isn't as easy as that."
