The Delaware Catholic Action Network (DCAN) is urging parishioners in the Diocese of Wilmington to thank a state legislator.
When Delaware lawmakers approved the state budget this week, funding for Catholic school nurses and for transportation stipends for Catholic school families was included, albeit at lower levels than in previous years.
DCAM reported June 29 that the Joint Finance Committee, which draws up the state budget, had restored $533,000 for school nursing and $800,000 for transportation for nonpublic schools.
“While these numbers are slightly less than what our schools received last year, they will help families who struggle to send their children to Catholic schools,” DCAN said in a statement.
DCAN asked Catholics “to thank your representatives in Dover for being responsive to our requests.”
