Delaware and National Redistricting Materials
As of 2025, there are 23 separate governing units, including 11 in the City of Wilmington, responsible for delivering public education to about 11,000 Wilmington children. Progress has been made in collaboration to support Wilmington students, but student governance must be streamlined to create more effective and equitable change. The Redding Consortium’s path forward for redistricting is informed by over twenty years of reports and input from engaged community members and passionate advocates.
