Delaware would fund agencies, schools, and colleges through June 2026

Delaware would set aside budget money for state agencies, public schools, and colleges. The budget covers state departments, public education, and higher education. Those receiving money could spend only within the bill's limits. The spending covers the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.

Delaware would direct targeted school money toward mental health services or reading help. District and charter schools serving kindergarten through fourth grade qualify if at least 30% of last year's students were from low-income families or at least 10% were learning English. Schools could use this money for mental health services or reading help. Districts and charter schools would have to submit spending plans and could not use this money to replace other available funding. The state would use the previous year's student counts for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.

Delaware health officials would use budget money to pay for Medicaid care. The money would pay for care covered by Delaware's Medicaid plan. Most spending would require federal approval and matching money. The state could still pay for certain mental health services for eligible people if federal matching money for those services ends. The funding covers the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.
