Draft — Atlas publication hold. This is a generic charter-school funding watch, not an open applicant opportunity: DDOE has not yet published the controlling subgrant competition, applicant eligibility, deadline, award caps, allowable costs, or a specific direct healthcare/school-health funded objective. Keep Draft until an authoritative competition is released and independently passes the Atlas healthcare/school-health publication gate.

Delaware $16M Charter Schools Program — Competitive Charter School Subgrant Funding Watch
Delaware has received a five-year, $16 million federal Charter Schools Program award. At least 90% will support future competitive subgrants for charter-school planning, implementation, replication, and expansion. DDOE says the first competition will be released during the first program year, but applicant eligibility, award caps, application requirements, and the exact deadline have not yet been published, so Atlas is tracking this as Upcoming / Funding Watch.
Required next actionMonitor Delaware Department of Education for the first competitive Charter Schools Program subgrant notice. On release, verify exact applicant eligibility, award caps, deadline date/time/time zone, match or cost share, allowable costs, scoring, forms/templates, required attachments, amendments, submission method, and official contact before outreach or package work.
