We are continuing our tradition of enrollment incentives. CSNC seeks enrollment of  incredible students for the 2018-19 school year.

Hope Trust for Kids
​It has been suggested that Delaware has underinvested in its children, particularly those who grow up at or near the poverty line.  And now the State finds itself with $55 million in unanticipated revenues.  We believe this money should be spread out over four years in a “Hope Trust for Kids”, rather than spent all at once. This money should be dedicated entirely to programs that will benefit Delaware’s children, particularly those living in poverty.   The use of the funds in this proposed fashion will support funding for programs that we at  Charter School of New Castle consistently struggle to come by as we seek to best serve the children in our school.
 
Matt Denn, Delaware's Attorney General, and a passionate supporter of education and other services for low income kids, has endorsed this idea; and has asked us to share the following information with you.
  
Please note the specific mention of EastSide Charter School in the article (link below) from the Coalition for Delaware’s Kids, suggesting sound reasons for this use of the unanticipated State revenues.

We also ask for you to lend your support to this idea by signing the Petition of Support (link below).

We appreciate your interest in supporting the children of Delaware –they are the future of our State.
 
Best wishes for a joyful and memorable Holiday Season,
