Both the Opportunity Funding and SSBG programs fund provide valuable support for needed investments in Delaware schools, particularly in the form of staffing to support student mental health and the state’s ML population. However, these funds collectively provide for a relatively small proportion of overall LEA spending (Figure 3). Of the $2.9 billion expended by Delaware’s LEAs during FY 2022, only 1 percent of total expenditures was composed of funds allocated through the Opportunity Funding or SSBG programs. By comparison, federal COVID-19 relief funds accounted for roughly five times as much spending from Delaware LEAs.
